Setting a tough example in what is becoming a movement by many cities and towns throughout the nation, Prince William County in Northern Virginia just outside the Nation’s Capital has taken the issue of dealing with illegal immigrants into its own hands. Last month, following the best-attended -- and by far the stormiest -- public meeting that county residents can remember, the Board of Supervisors in Virginia’s second-most populous county voted unanimously to permit its police force to ask residents their status as immigrants. If they are found to be in the country illegally, then county police may promptly arrest them and send them on to the local Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) unit to initiate deportation proceedings.
