U.N. official arriving for Prince William visit

WASHINGTON (Map, News) - Prince William County’s crackdown against illegal immigration will receive a taste of international attention today, as a United Nations official charged with monitoring human rights of migrants visits the community.

Jorge Bustamante, the U.N. special rapporteur for migrants, is set to examine the county’s crackdown, designed to result in deportations of illegal immigrants who break county and state laws.

Local immigrant advocates invited Bustamante to inspect what they describe as a “human rights struggle,” while critics of illegal immigration have hammered the visit as unwarranted and ill-conceived.

Bustamante is set to meet with Board of Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart on Wednesday morning following meetings with immigrant groups today.

“We’re certainly not violating any human rights, and I’ll be happy to explain to him exactly what the county is doing,” Stewart said. “The county’s got nothing to hide. We’re simply enforcing the law and treating everybody with respect.”

However, he accused Bustamante of trying to “embarrass” the United States with his criticism of immigration laws.

Stewart invited illegal-immigration critics U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., and the mayor of Hazleton, Pa., Lou Barletta, to the session, but they could not attend.

Bustamante, a Notre Dame University sociology professor, has sharply criticized U.S. policies that spur more deportations of illegal immigrants and decries their impact of separating families and impeding the pursuit of employment.

Immigrants in Woodbridge and Manassas are pleased he is looking into the situation, said Nancy Lyall, a coordinator for the group Mexicans Without Borders.

“His role is to ensure that migrants are protected, and if he is hearing reports that there are areas in this country where they are not, it is his responsibility to investigate,” Lyall said.

The United Nations has 38 special rapporteurs, who are tasked with investigating issues including religious liberty, racism and anti-terrorism measures, said Steven Groves, a fellow with the Heritage Foundation. While the U.N. special rapporteurs can investigate any nation, they frequent the United States “because we let them in,” Groves said.

It shows that in only ten years, when new ideas come into the Old Dominion, they work The days of the old party bosses with cigars running the state forever is out of touch. Why didn't someone notice a democratic family named Moran who also came to this state only a short while ago, has one US congressman and one VA assembly leader? Hey new ideas work. If people from around this great country did not come from cities and states with new ideas what would you have in Virginia: A bunch of general assemblymen and woman who attend churches and approve of 38% payday and auto loans? AKA usuary in most states? A state where tobacco and slavery was king for decades? If it were not for the US government pumping billions into the state what would you have more peanut farmers? The state became synonomous with IT because of new people with new ideas. Many who were " LEAGALLY here from arond the globe. Just how many illegals started any economic development?

The fact that immigrants in the region call Prince William County “Condado del Diablo,” the Devil’s County, is appalling, Principi says. Maybe Principi's Hispanic spouse may feel that way, but the majority of residents who approve of the crackdown and who have seen improvement in their own communities don't. As a matter of fact, residents from surrounding jurisdictions are moving into Prince William County because of the crackdown on illegal immigration.

 Examiner Reader said:
Everyone`s in agreement that they should be deported, however we must put an end to them coming here working three to five years before they get caught and we give them a free airline ticket back to Mexico. Let`s put them to work cleaning ditches and roadways or whatever manual labor is needed. All this would be without pay, then after they do enough time to pay thier own way back, then we ship them out. Ounce the word gets around Mexico about what happens when caught, the traffic across the border would really slow down. If we just keep sending them home, they will just keep coming back. There needs to be strick punishment that makes it not worth the effort.

Offer what legalization for what group? Skilled jobs? The money made is not being re-invested into the USA For the most part it is being sent home to their countries. Unlike immigrants in the last century who came to become Americans, who came to give and not take. Who were part and parcel of the greatest industrial revolution. We are seeing this today with China, the next great industrial revolution without having to be invaded by illegals from neighboring countries. The government has no rights deciding how much fear and crime you must live with.

Prince William is only doing the number one job that the Department of Homeland security should be doing. That is protecting our nations borders. The United States is being invaded by another country and they are not doing nearly enough to protect us. Secondly, it`s our tax money not the Department of Homeland Security`s and if "We the people" decide that is where we would like to spend it then they should comply. This new federal bill seems like a way for the Department of Homeland Security to get out of stepping up efforts on thier end and giving them more control over who lives in our communities. Illegals do more harm to the local counties then good. They lose millions of dollars every year giving them free health care and teaching them in our schools that are already overcrowded. Please allow our local leaders to continue the great efforts that they have started. If for our own good.

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.

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

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.

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.

This inspecter needs to go to China and other Countries and inspect the child slave labor. And stay the hell out of America. Democrats are out to give our Country away to whom ever wants to be here. I just reregistered as a Independent after being a dem for years. I am fed up with the do nothing dems and will never vote for another after seeing them block the save act, and blocking drilling for oil in America. And Obama will not get my vote as he wants to give amnesty to all the illegals that are here.

That idiot Nancy Lyall is at it again, I see. What human rights violations are occuring in PWC? People--no matter who they are--get their status checked when they are arrested. How is that a human rights violation? Ms. Lyall--get a life and stop spewing your hatred. It's you and your ilk who are inciting fear among the illegals.

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. The Democrats advocating for amnesty are saying that citizens

Wow what a joke! Bush stated that if we demonstrate a working democracy in Irag the rest of the Countries would also become Democractic and hold free elections! WELL what has happened to our influence in Mexico I think they have been our neighbors for a while plus their patriotic folks even go back and forth . How about just starting with a minimum wage in Mexico! WE ARE THE VICTIMS OF THE MEXICAN INVASION AND RECONQUISTA, LA RAZA MOVEMENT--maybe we need to contact the UN and let them sort it out.
