[quote=Anonymous]First, it's true that illegals are being resettled here from other parts of the country. But second, Fairfax is a "sanctuary city," which means officials refuse to comply with federsl law regarding illegals - and do not turn them over to the Feds. This alome makes the county a draw for illegals. Related to that, there has been a pronounced rate of gang-related crime, especially recently, from gang members (who primarily come from El Salvador).

The topic of illegal immigration has been a hot one for Virginia, and pretty much falling along party lines. Last year, Virginia's Democratic AG (or was it the deputy AG) condoned sanctuary cities, and this spring, there was legislation advanced by three lawmakers (Republicans) to crack down on this, among other issues.

In my mind, there is no excuse for states to violate federsl law, and sanctusry cities should be abolished. This is another case of political correctness run amok, and the interests of law-breaking illegal immigrants are given priority ove the safety of Americsn lives. The case of Steinle (can't recall her first name) in California is a prime - and horrendous - example.
