    Lawyers advise immigrants before Pr. William crackdown

    WASHINGTON (Map, News) - Lawyers and civil rights advocates are preparing Prince William County’s large and alarmed immigrant population for one of the nation’s most closely watched illegal immigration enforcement policies, set to begin Monday.

    About 300 people attended a lengthy legal briefing Tuesday night at a Woodbridge restaurant, said Lisa Johnson-Firth, a lawyer with the Immigration and Human Rights Law Group in Manassas, adding demand has never been higher.

    “I’ve never seen anything like it,” she said.

    Police officers will begin checking the legal status of traffic violators and minor crime suspects if they have probable cause to believe someone is illegally present in the U.S. Illegal immigrants wanted by federal authorities could be deported under the new program.

    Lawyers are advising immigrants to obey all laws and avoid any behavior that would attract police attention, including public intoxication and driving with a broken taillight.

    Driving without a license or with a false license is the first thing to avoid, said Luis Paoli, an Alexandria lawyer with years of Immigration and Customs Enforcement experience.

    “If you don’t have a driver’s license, don’t drive,” Paoli said.

    If an illegal immigrant or immigrant unsure of his legal status is questioned by police under the new policy, Johnson-Firth said, he should not speak without a lawyer present.

    “Remain silent. Remain silent. Remain silent. Request a lawyer,” Johnson-Firth said.

    Legal immigrants should keep all documents up to date and carry their green cards or permanent documents, said Kathy Doan, executive director of the Capital Area Immigrants’ Rights Coalition.

    Families also are being instructed to prepare notarized documents granting power of attorney to a relative or friend who is a legal permanent resident or citizen. That is a critical step for parents of children who would remain behind if they are deported.

    Immigrant rights lawyers have protested the county’s policy and said they would review cases for potential legal challenges after its implementation next week.

    Prince William County Chairman Corey Stewart, a champion of the crackdown, on Wednesday called the plan a public safety initiative.

    He added his own advice Wednesday: “If you’re illegal, leave.” For those who stay, “at a bare minimum, keep your nose clean.”

They put short skirts on small girls and they encourage poor diets. I was eating at a restaurant and watched as a hispanic family ate breakfast while their infant was dringing the creamers!!!

    1. A policy that was passed in 2008 couldn't have brought down crime stats in 2007 even if the policy were announced in 2007. 2. PWC's crime rate has decreased every year for the last five years, with and without the "resolution." 3. Foreclosures have forced many people to leave the county. When fewer people live in the county, it makes sense the crime rate might drop as well. 4. The police have implemented new investigations procedures (unrelated to immigration) that have also reduced crime. Stewart is using these stats for his own advantage, and too few people are analyzing what the numbers really mean.

    Lets make one thing clear, I know some hard working LEGAL immigrants from mexico, and they do not support ILLEGAL immigration! They have to go through the system which takes years, and millions of illegals give the legals bad names and reputations. Bottom line is, illegal immigration is ILLEGAL!! But the media will tell you its not. Liberals have forgotten the word illegal. Oh and when the day comes Obama wants to give illegals health care and you support it, then dont bitch and moan when you have to wait in line behind an illegal alien to get yours or a love ones surgery to save them.

    All we have to do here in lower fairfield county is to read the police blotter. The names speak for themselves. Our mayor insists that crime is going down, but he doesn't address the crimes committed are by the same people. Most of the crimes in our blotter are hispanic names, russian and albanian names. These are people that are illegally coming into our city and nothing is being done about it. I just hope that eventually these crazy political leaders will stand up and say "enough is enough". OUr taxes sky high, our schools not save, test scores down. We have a relative on the police force and he said that half the crime is not even reported in the news. Sad, but we continue to proctect these leeches. If it was an American Citizens or an American teenager (especially a white person) they would get the book thrown at them and the key taken away. Sad..............

    There are places in San Francisco where you would swear you were in Mexico. The horrible markets, smell of urine, dirty conditions. And its all because the legal and illegal Mexicans (its not the Sweedish or Polish community, lets call it what it is!) don't want to come to America and be Americans. They want to come to America and be Mexicans enjoying American benefits. They're here not for an "opportunity" as the propagandists say, but because we give everything away for free. Free health care, free education, and in turn the CITIZENS pay the price and incur the burdon of the leeches on the system. Unskilled labor work is fleeing the USA in boat loads, so why do we want to flood our cities with foreign unskilled laborers? The answer is clear: eliminate the free education (you can't even ASK immigration status to students!), eliminate emergency rooms being Immigrant Clinics (you get sicker at the hospital) and repeal automatic citizenship to newborns, they'll deport themselv

    "You have no right, and if the system wasn't so broken and it didn't take people tens of years to come legally, there'd be more legal immigrants." What makes anyone think it's o.k. to come here illegally just because they are unable to come here legally? We don't want these people here legally either. We cannot support millions of third world peasants! They are ignorant, filthy, backward and likely to stay that way generation after generation. They breed like rats and are quickly trashing our country, turning many areas into filthy little mexicos.

    Where in the heck do all of you get off? Almost every one of your ancestors came to this country 'illegally'. At least when these ones came, they didn't all but exterminate the Native Americans. You have no right, and if the system wasn't so broken and it didn't take people tens of years to come legally, there'd be more legal immigrants. People want to come for a better life, but can only do it, if there's some natural disaster or political asylum. Please, every one of you racists need to get off your high horse. The ones that are here need to pay taxes, that's all. If we sent them all away the economy would crash because your lazy butts dont' want to do the work they do

There are a lot of crimes unreported [now] because immigrants are afraid of going to the police.” ================================== I don't believe her at all.

    In regards to Ilegal Immigrants, they should all be arrested and deported. this country was built on all cultures however there is a process of getting into this country and we are a country of laws. Granting amnesty is not the solution. Do you think that if we went to another country they would allow is to stay if we were not there legally? not a chance they would toss us out and rightfully so. I live in the DC Area and have seen what the illegals have done to what used to be nice areas to live..they purchased my parents nice house and have since left (forclosed big surprise)and turned a beautiful 4 br house into a tenant house. It made me sick to see what they did to it, cars and appliances in the front yard to many families living in it....Deport them all, and if the children came from illegals they should not be given citizenship just because they were born here, thier parents were here illegally so they are as well.

    It is a shame that everyone is too busy living their lives to care about the crackdown on illegal immigrants in PWC.I know a mother who is being deported because she did not have her papers with her during a traffic stop in PWC for failure to have a current sticker on her car-it had expired 2 days earlier. Her daughter (5) is a US citizen and has had several hip replacement surgeries and her mother was still in the process of getting her citizenship (it can take years). It was the first time that she had resources to help her. PWC took those away and denied her rights-makes you wonder how many other working mothers they have taken away from their children. I know nothing will be done until a hispanic member of Congress gets stopped in PWC. Please do not believe that the crime rate is due to the deportation of illegal immigrants - instead, we as the taxpayers are getting stuck with the bills for deportation! PWC has seen a decline in revenue and will continue to do so!

    The media will not reveal the ugly truth? About the incessant murders, female and child violations, burglarized homes, carjackings, kidnapping the drunken drivers and the carnage that goes on in every community within our borders. Once upon a time people were able to leave their door unlocked, windows open, car keys still in the ignition; not any more. Then each day their is an incessant small reports of (DUI) intoxicated illegal immigrants, not generally found in the national press. These incidents are mostly suppressed because of the current uproar about the illegal immigration invasion. Our courts are overworked, our jails and prisons full, so many of these individuals are released back into the general public again. Many receive a slap on the wrist and then go out on the roads, to ultimately kill innocent families. As an example Special Order 40 in Los Angeles county has allowed violent gangs to propagates.

    The Democrats advocating for amnesty are saying that citizenship for illegal immigrants will cost them each a $5,000 fee. In reality, what these politicians are saying is that the lives of the brave heroes we lost in this war on terror are each only worth $5,000. In Pennsylvania we have veterans living underneath bridges and employed illegal immigrants living in the rental properties. How can our government propose to give amnesty to 20 million low-wage-earning illegal immigrants, all of whom will then be eligible for free government welfare programs, when it cannot help just a few hundred thousand veterans, many of whom just need proper medical care or are truly homeless or unemployed?

    I watched Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., hard at work two months ago on C-Span, showing on his charts how seven million U.S. citizens are presently unemployed. He also showed how presently there are only four million jobs available in the United States. How can Democrats push for the amnesty of 20 million illegal immigrants, while providing us with the best evidence against it? Illegal immigrants are the biggest contributors to unemployment in the United States, and they are forcing many U.S. citizens into early retirement. Two illegal immigrants are working for the price of one American and with no employee benefits. They help the employer in the present and future. My school taxes have doubled because of the illegal immigrants’ many, many children in our public schools. While our troops are bravely fighting for freedom in the Middle East, at home it appears freedom is free for illegal immigrants as they invade our nation.

    Frankly, I view illegal immigration as not only a violation of MY human rights but also of my rights as an American citizen. Illegal immigration dilutes my vote (Census figures including illegal aliens are used to apportion Congressional seats) and uses money that should be spent on services for Americans and legal residents. Government's willful failure to enforce immigration law represents corruption at the highest levels.

    Ha, ha, looks like PWC called the illegals bluff. When you play with the bulls, prepare to get the horns. UN can't even police itself. LOL

    What right does a U.N. Investigator think he has to attempt interference in our laws. Mexicans w/o Borders needs to work on cleaning up Mexico's crooked government and leave America alone. If your illegal, get out. I had an illegal come into the shop today to try and buy a Harley (he said he was illegal). Where's INS when you need them. I don't care if he was peaceful, he's still illegal. I would have said something, but, I need my job. The U.N. needs to worry about countries that have real problems and stay the He$$ out of the U.S.A.

    Sunlight is the best disinfectant for "Human Rights" cockroaches like this, who have nothing better to do with their time, and whose idea of human rights is vested in the UN Human Rights Commissions, manned by the world's coterie of thugs, religious nutjobs, murderers and other fine fellows. A quick time in Iran to investigate gay rights (perhaps Bustamante might declare himself to be openly gay and watch the fun begin?) might be in order. Yeah, that's the ticket. One-way of course.

    Hey RedCorn, your ancestors did attempt to throw out the immigrants. In 1675 they set out to commit genocide against the New England settlers. The settlers proportionally lost more people to Indian massacres than any other war America fought.

    Unbelievable.. that the US would actually allow the UN on our soil is beyond my comprehension. They are global socialists who are only interested in lining their own pockets. Too bad the words of James Madison fall on deaf ears these days, even the most recent words of Pat Buchanan are ignored: " When I am president, i would tell the UN to get off of US soil, if they dragged their feet I would inform them I could have 2400 US marines there within 24 hours to help them pack"

    why don't the UN do something for the world, and stop supporting big buisness. If they want the illegal's they can have them. This is America not mexico or the World. clean up your own country before you blame someone else.!! If you don't like it here LEAVE.

    I wonder when Bustamante is going to investigate the human rights violations of rape, murder, robbery going on in MX against those from Central America illegally entering MX. Further his man is the same one that drafted the change in MX Constitution to allow dual citizenship for the sole purpose of effecting the elections in the US. He further called for HIspanics to boycott in the US effecting our economy which is Sedition during a declared war. I hope the good people of Prince William will show this man the door. If you back down, you will end up with the same crime & violence we are going through here in one of the border states.

    I am hoping that the average citizen recognizes the danger of the UN in our own backyard. What will follow? Peacekeepers from Uganda to ensure that our fine citizens cause no harm to the hispanic gangs? Keep the UN out! We are doing just fine without their involvement in any capacity.
