Updated 10/23
Candidates for Chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors spoke about their approach to local enforcement of federal immigration laws in a meeting yesterday with Washington Post reporters and editors . Gerald E. Connolly (D) said that he would not follow Prince Williams County's lead and try to cut off services for illegal immigrants. Gary H. Baise (R) said he would seek participation by county police in a program operated by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency to help them identify illegal immigrants.

Talk Radio host Chris Core yesterday asked his listeners to call Fairfax County Board of Supervisors chairman Gerald E. Connolly's office to ask why Connolly didn't support the type on anti-illegal immigrant actions that neighboring Prince William County is attempting to enforce. Connolly has maintained that it is not the job of local governments to enforce federal immigration law and that local governments are best equipped to deal with "outcomes and behaviors" that are associated with the problem of illegal immigration. The story is in today's Metro section.

I'm an immigrant too, but a legal one. I would like to invite Mr Connolly to walk thru the sidewalk in front of my house and my neightbourhood in some afternoon to see how many beer bottles and can and trash that some young Latinos thru out when they walked by. Look and see how many cars. trucks they have in front of their house.
