[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

states are not violating federal law by not deporting illegals because states don't have the right to deport illegals.  That is the feds' job.  If they want them, they will come get them.

Also, some states have made pot legal even in DC, home of our fed. gov't. That is a violation of federal law, but the feds aren't going after the people because it's a small blib of a larger problem.  Same for illegals.  The feds  have larger game to catch - illegals who commit crimes. Wouldn't you say that should take precedence over a 6 yr old illegal immigrant attending  your precious FFX schools?

As a citizen, though, you have every right to report them.    Here's their contact # to report crimes. It's on their website, top of the page: https://www.ice.gov/

PP - and no, no, no. The complaint isn't about an illegal immigrant 6-year old attending our "precious Fairfax Schools" (can you possibly keep the condescion out of your replies?), but about dangerous criminals that sanctuary cities (county in this instance)  are shielding from the Feds, refusing to turn them over when directed.[/quote]
PP here. Sorry for the condescension.  So let's talk about the "dangerous" illegal immigrants.   Are there dangerous illegal immigrants that FFX county is shielding?  Can you name one?

In most states, and I believe CA as well, if an illegal immigrants is deemed "dangerous", ie a violent criminal past, the person is kept and handed over to ICE.  The man you refer to in the CA shooting had no violent criminal record at the time he was apprehended. That's why SF let him go.

"San Francisco, as a sanctuary city, honors immigration holds only if the person has a violent record or if a judge had vetted the hold or approved a warrant. In this case, ICE did not seek a court order, Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi said."

Can you site an instance where a dangerous violent illegal immigrant was knowingly shielded by a county?[/quote]
Apology accepted. For the record, I have no children in Fairfax schools, so my concern has nothing to do with my (non-existent) little snowflake.

Now then, you say that the CA shooter of Kate Steinle had no criminal record, but that is false. He had been convicted of seven (7) felonies and had even deported five times, yet kept returning. He expressly said (link to article below) that he returned to San Francisco because he knew authorities would not turn him over - and that was true. SF authorities ignored the detainer and request to return this criminal to custody. As a result, this young woman with a promising future is dead and her family is left to live with the loss for the rest of their lives.

Also for the record, I am not one of these conservative "crazies" who think we should round up millions of illegal immigrants, separate parent from child, and deport them. But if they come into our country (illegally) and we are to educate their children and provide medical care, I do not think it too much to ask that they obey our laws, just as I do. A minor traffic citation, OK....even a little pot, as you mentioned, OK....but anything more than that, they have lost their right (technically they don't have one) to remain here. Doesn't even have to be violent. As someone who entered this country illegally, if you come into my place of business and shoplift some items, I say no leniency. Your blatant disrespect for others' property, particularly given your status as an illegal, earns you a ticket back. (I'm using the word "you" generically. I don't mean YOU, specifically, of course.) Behave, you stay....you don't, you won't. Does that not sound reasonable?
