The Prince William Board of Supervisors is meeting today to discuss and implement a new directive from Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. The new orders will weaken the very successful 287g program, which gives local law enforcement the power to enforce immigration laws. InsideNova.com has obtained the federal document ordering the changes. It reads: "[Immigration and Customs Enforcement] has made changes to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOA), terminating the original agreement and requiring execution of a new and revised MOA.” The new agreement also states that "ICE must give approval for an immigration arrest where no state or local charges are made [and] ICE must give prior approval of planned operations where immigration enforcement is the sole function." Another revision "provides levels and types of criminal offenses that ICE directs to be a focus, rather [than] pursuing immigration enforcement based on specific charges.” In other words, the Obama administration seeks to tie the hands of law enforcement in Virginia’s Prince William County, the same way they have done so in Arizona’s Maricopa County, telling Sheriff Joe Arpaio to back off. Of course, Obama is doing this to please the Hispanic voting block who helped put him in office, and to set the stage for another run at amnesty sometime next year. The fact is, the 287g program has been extremely successful and intstrumental in cleaning up Prince William County, which has been over-run with illegal aliens as well as the problems they bring. In March of 2002, The Washington Post reported that Virginia's Prince William County experienced a 188 percent increase of TB infections over the previous year. In 2004, the rate of TB in Northern Virginia rose 17 percent. The Virginia Department of Health blamed the rise on that region's recent flood of illegal aliens. Many strains of TB are being found in certain neighborhoods, which are dominated by illegal aliens from Central America and Mexico. In addition to deadly diseases, dangerous gangs have made that part of the country home in recent years as well. MS-13 set up shop in Northern Virginia during the 1990s, lured by the region's fast-growing Salvadoran population, later expanding into the Maryland suburbs of Langley Park and Gaithersburg. In 2005, Michelle Malkin writing for Human Events said: "Reporting by a reliable Norfolk [VA} source indicates MS-13 members are planning to randomly attack local law enforcement officers in the Tidewater area. Threats of this nature have been termed by gang members as 'green light' notices. Green light notices have continued to increase, prompting the Virginia Gang Association to issue warnings to law enforcement in Virginia and the surrounding states. . . . Additional source information indicates local MS-13 members are equipped with weapons and ballistic vests." During 2004-2005, there were two machete attacks in the Northern Virginia area. An Alexandria teenager lost four fingers during a savage encounter with MS-13 members, while a Fairfax man also became a victim of an MS-13 machete attack. Both incidents are believed to have been initiation acts. In 2005, two MS-13 members were convicted in an Alexandria, Va. United States District Court for killing a 17-year-old pregnant girl. A rope was placed around the neck of Brenda Paz, she was then stabbed repeatedly. Her body was then left along the muddy banks of Virginia´s Shenandoah River. The murder was retribution for the girl´s cooperation with a federal investigation into the gang´s activities. *Reporter’s note: Obama is changing immigration enforcement policies around the country for one very simple reason…They work! The same reason Obama does not want the 287g program is the same reason he does not want the double-walled security fence along the U.S./Mexican border. That fence, if actually constructed, would stop the flow of illegal aliens into this country by 90-95 percent, as it has in San Diego (the only place the fence has been constructed). Perhaps, one day Americans will become angry enough with the daily reports of illegal aliens raping women and children, murdering police officers, and driving drunk on our highways that we will elect a President who is more concerned with the employment and general welfare of American citizens than with the needs of foreign nationals who invade this country. With real unemployment (those no longer eligible for benefits) at 17 percent, and unemployment among 18-24 year-olds at an incredible 52 percent…Why are we allowing non-citizens to come into this country and take our jobs? Any jobs? Like Bush, Obama has obviously chosen a side in this struggle and his loyalty does not lie with the American people.

This problem is way larger for a redneck to understand. There is no ABC 123 black and white answer to this.
Illegal and undocumented immigrants are only taking away the jobs from the lazy americans. Life is survival of the fittest. If you can't take a job from an illegal immigrant, you are in trouble my friend.
If you think this country has an immigration problem...go to Europe.
This is a problem as old as humanity. Get used to it cause it is not going to be fixed in you short life span.
for illegal immigrant comment so sorry to disappoint you but the word is out . americans have decided to do the job that our government has refused to do. the deal also is when these companies that hire invaders will also be changing their ways also. time is near beware all border jumpers and hirers of border jumpers.
to all those people who hate latino people let me tell you that for your little brain can't understend ,thanks to all latinos the USA is able to compite with other coutries in cheap labor and keep some jobs here for anyone who wants to work,otherwise companies don't care about americans they are loyal to inverstor,they only want profits,get it so think twice before open your big mouth
I agree with you all guys god bless america and please before you guys discuss about benefits, illegal immigration you guys should know that american can't do nothing with out these people if you don't consider these people as a humain then I guess you should be going back to ur ancestor place where they came from coz red indian are a native american rather considering this white american
America is illegal it self. Everything in it is illeagle. Case closed!
This has to be a form of Treason to U.S.A.? Around 10 to15 Percent of LEGAL REAL AMERICANS loseing JOBS HOMES MEDICAL BENEFITS? And OBAMA SOETOREO WHOEVER HE IS? Not Protecting AMERICAS BORDERS From Illegals and Talking Amnesty? A Kindergarden would know WE need no more PEOPlE in AMERICA.GET THIS WHOEVER HE IS IN COURT NOW NOT JANUARY>AN AMERICAN>THANKS
Another good column by Mr. Gibson. It is unconscionable that Barack Obama, Charles Schumer, Luis Guitirrez et al. are pushing mass amnesty for many millions of illegal foreign workers with unemployment at a 26-year high!
And for the woefully ignorant and misleading commenters that opposing illegal immigration is opposing "Latinos," the American people do not buy this garbage. We oppose ILLEGAL immigration & millions of ILLEGALS spitting on our laws and stealing our jobs.
Plus, with unemployment at 23% for high school educated U.S. born Hispanics and 26% for African-Americans, it is the PRO-AMNESTY, PR0-ILLEGAL ALIEN zealots such as Luis Guitirrez who are against American Hispanics and Black workers.
Get involved NOW to help stop this pro-amnesty, pro-illegal alien, anti-American worker madness.

Obama and the Democratic party's agenda is quite clear, legalize all illegals, allow them to bring in 3~5 or more family members in via "family reunifacation" and flood the country with 80 million new uneducated meso american third world peasants. The goal is to create a one party system, just like in Mexico.
This is far beyond simple corruption, it's our so called leadership committing national suicide.
America, put a fork in it as the fat senorita is warming up.
how dare this article say that there are more cases of tb now do to illegal immigrants you have to be kidding me. And illegal immigrants are not the only ones who rape, kill, and drive drunk. Wake up and quit being so damn racist.

Your comments are right out of La Raza's Propaganda Handbook. So, if you are going to call Americans "rednecks", then I guess that makes it ok for Americans to call illegal aliens from Mexico "wetbacks", right? Illegal aliens are taking jobs away from American teenagers, Americans looking for their first jobs, American high school dropouts, other Americans on the lower rung of the economic ladder, and even hardworking Americans who once worked in good paying fields such as construction.
Our society is based on laws, and with millions of foreigners in our country in violation of these laws, we are all in trouble.

Americans don't hate Latino people. Americans hate foreigners, regardless of their race, nationality, or ethnicity, who have no respect for our laws. Can your little brain understand that? By the way, "illegal alien" is not a race, and not all illegal aliens are of the same race.

"America is illegal it self. Everything in it is illeagle. Case closed!"
What? Yours is one of the most illogical comments that I've ever seen posted on any forum or messageboard.
Why is this so difficult for the folks in Washington to grasp? Overpopulation, congestion, urban sprawl, crumbling infrastructure, diminishing resources, vanishing farm land and green space, lack of affodable housing, an overburdened energy sector, crime, pollution, depressed wages, increased tax burdens, the balkanization of our communities, the marginalization of American workers, taxpayers and voters, the overall decline in quality of life, are all the result of unconstrained immigration. Too many people competing for the same limited resources is not sane, sustainable social, economic or environmental policy! There is no problem confronting America's citizens that would not measurably benefit from securing our borders and enforcing our immigration laws. Voters should immediately call for 'recall elections' for House and Senate members who support these dangerously misguided amnesty and open borders policies.
Chelsie says:
"And illegal immigrants are not the only ones who rape, kill, and drive drunk. Wake up and quit being so damn racist."
The point you're overlooking is that if these illegal aliens weren't in this country, they wouldn't be able to rape, kill, or drive drunk in this country. In other words, all of the crimes that illegal aliens commit here could be prevented if our federal government would do its job and keep illegal aliens out of this country. By the way, you made an excellent argument against illegal immigration when you said that it's not just illegal aliens who are committing serious crimes here. I agree that we have enough home grown criminals committing serious crimes here. We don't need to be "importing" criminals from other countries.
It would be very easy to make the argument that people who support illegal aliens do so because of racism.
Americans have this train of thought that $10/hr is worse than $0. If every illegal went sent home you honestly think hundreds of Americans would take those jobs? Who are you trying to kid?
I know illegals who make more than minimum wage and pay the same taxes I do.Let's go on a rampage about Americans who work under the table. They are ripping the United States of America off! They aren't contributing to that new road, dammit! How dare they do such a thing to us Americans and our country, right? But ignore that issue. They are American born citizens so it is ok.
Let's also ignore the fact that our government received over $60 BILLION in 2003 for social security from illegals. I'm so not curios as to what the hell that money was used for.
And why is everyone so quick to forget how the hell us American citizens ended up in this country? We have our ancestors looking for a better life to thank for that.
Stephanie, your a genius... Yeah, these illegal aliens take crap jobs that a lot of citizens or legal permanent residents wont take because they have dumbed down the wages to CRAP! THe other thing you need to keep in mind is that these illegals take these CRAP-paying jobs and can afford to do so because they will choose to live 6,8,10, 12 peopel to a one or two bedroom apartment. THey accept the lower wages most LEGAL people won't, and they also live by a substandard level of livign that most LEGAL people won't!
sophia u rock
Stephanie says:
"If every illegal went sent home you honestly think hundreds of Americans would take those jobs?"
Yes.
"I know illegals who make more than minimum wage and pay the same taxes I do."
By working here, each illegal alien has each committed one or more felonies, including ID theft, document fraud, Social Security fraud, employment "I-9 Form" fraud, and conspiracy to violate immigration laws. Any taxes that illegal aliens pay is on money that they have illegally earned.
"Let's also ignore the fact that our government received over $60 BILLION in 2003 for social security from illegals."
Assuming that this statistic is accurate (you provided no proof), if legal immigrants and legal guest workers had been working at these jobs instead of illegal aliens, then these legal immigrants and legal guest workers would have contributed this $60 billion to the Social Security fund. There is nothing special about illegal alien workers. They can be easily replaced.
Stephanie says:
"And why is everyone so quick to forget how the hell us American citizens ended up in this country? We have our ancestors looking for a better life to thank for that."
Most American citizens were born in the United States. That's how they ended up here! The ancestors of most Americans came to the United States LEGALLY in search of a better life, which is the right way to come here. On the other hand, illegal aliens chose to come to the United States in violation of our country's immigration laws. Illegal alien lawbreakers deserve nothing more than to be deported back to their home countries where they belong.
I don't know who is going to destroy this Country first, obama or the illegal aliens.
I think obama and his thugs better soon learn to enforce the immigration laws. We will not accept any amnesty for these illegal aliens.
if some of the people would get off their lazy tails find a job and leave food stamps and checks every month alone.the world would be better. you cant blame it on no latino about the jobs someone has work,because im in north carolina and some people dont want to work ,just break in people houses and do drugs and these are not illegal aliens they are americans so leave the lations alone and obama please pass something for them they humans too so stop treating them like they are nothing

Illegal aliens are lawbreakers. If you support illegal aliens, you support lawbreaking. People of all races break into people's houses, do drugs, and commit other crimes (yes, this includes Latinos). People of all races receive food stamps and welfare checks (yes, this includes Latinos). American lawbreakers are humans too, so should we leave these Americans alone? If a person violates our laws, that person needs to be arrested, regardless of their race (yes, this includes Latinos).
Glenn Beck outed Arpaio as a RACIAL PROFILER
JOE ARPAIO SAYS HE CAN LEGALLY RACIALLY PROFILE!
Joe Arpaio: I Got 32,000 Off The Street
ARPAIO: “There is a federal law that they don’t seem to understand is there that I will enforce also… which is if local law enforcement comes across some people that have an erratic or scare or whatever... ah they are worried and IF THEY HAVE...THEIR SPEECH WHAT THEY LOOK LKE IF THEY JUST LOOK LIKE THEY CAME FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THAT SITUATION.
Glenn Beck: When was that law written? Because all I hear about is that SOUNDS LIKE PROFILING & THE GOVERNMENT IS SAYING YOU CAN’T PROFILE ANYBODY.

you guys are idiots. Do you know how much money the united states would make if say 12 milliion illegals were legalized. Multiply that by 1500 at the LEAST and you'll see why they would be legalized. Remember this is a capatalist society. it doesnt matter wether you are legal or illegal, it values the dollar and Us as the consumers have made it this way. Most of you anti-immigration people probably voted for bush. He's the prime example of the money sector, dont fool yourselves, your "customs" "Traditions" are only as valuable as how much they can be bought for. Remember, a connecticut blue blood parading as your friend is only your friend as long as you keep him in the same position, and all you rednecks fell for it.
'Yep'... you are right. In America we don't care where the dollar bills come from. We will sell out mothers for it! So why not have the illegals come out of the shadows and pay us in fees and taxes. Just the application fees alone will pay out $18 Billion enough to keep many of us redneck racist whities employed for a long time!
Also remember we all came here illegally. If the Native Indians has weapons our white asses would be spanked back to England taking it up the ass from the queen!
"Perhaps, one day Americans will become angry enough with the daily reports of illegal aliens raping women and children, murdering police officers, and driving drunk on our highways..."
Come on Dave. Why are you writing such lieing garbage. You are firing up people of the wrong kind-- the neo-nazi Joe Wilson kind. We all should know that comparatively the "legal" population are much more prone to criminal activities than the illegal population.
Don't publish non-sense. It is not good for anyone. I understand you may be the teabagger type, but please be wiser when you talk to a public on emotional matters.
Americans must demand a ZERO tolerance towards all illegal immigration. There is no such thing as a law abiding illegal alien. You can't justify them breaking our laws because they want to better the lives of their family. This is insane. Would that work for robbing a bank? NO! Our nation is being invaded by millions of foreign nationals, this is an act of war! Illegal immigration costs the US more than 350 BILLION annually. Illegal aliens are NOT immigrants. Immigrants obey our laws and wish to become Americans. Illegal aliens break our laws and only wish to take whatever they can get. Bring home our troops and secure our borders with orders "shoot to kill". Americans will NOT tolerate another amnesty ever again! ILLEGAL ALIENS GO HOME!
Yeah, burro, now I "understend" America can "compite", with other "coutries" because of all the illegal aliens here. Thanks for straightening us out.

go to reformimmigrationforamerica.org and fax your congress for immigration reform. tell them we need it now and cannot wait. tell them it is good for america.
Maybe if American Citizens would actually GET UP and TURN OFF American Idol & Dancing With The Stars.. we could have REAL legislation like ARIZONA is soon to pass.You American Citizens that support REWARDING people for BREAKING THE LAW with the GIFT of American citizenship - need to fall victim to identity theft.. bet you'all will be signing a different tune. It is about NUMBERS not race. Africa, India, China, Russia, South America - OUR ECONOMY cannot support all that seek the American Dream. If you want Virginia to look like California.. keep supporting Amnesty. If not - BOYCOTT ALL Restaurants in the DC area that are part ofthe National Restaurant Association. This organization FUNDS the illegals protests. FIND out what companies are hiring / funding them and CALL THEM and tell them that you/family/neighbors will NOT USE THEIR PRODUCTS/SERVICES.
They can't keep blaming Illegal Aliens for the JOB situation anymore, there hasn't been any getting across the border for a couple of years now? SO, what will the next big excuse be for all the LAZY AMERICAN's that don't want to work anyways? They just would rather take the easy way out of things. FAKE Accidents, car wrecks, Insurance frauds, Identity Theft, etc. OBAMA is the best thing that happened to the USA. He can't fix all the problems left from all the former Presidents & ELECTED Officials. SO GET OVER THAT FANTASY!!!
