WINCHESTER, Va. (AP) _ Police, prosecutors and lawmakers in four states are targeting illegal drugs and gangs along Interstate 81.
Officials from Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia met Thursday in Winchester to discuss strategies as part of the 21st Quad-State Legislative Conference.
They agreed that ignoring state borders, improving communication and working in concert with the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency are keys.
Lt. Allen Sibert of the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office in Virginia says most of the drug charges filed late last year in Winchester and Frederick County involved illegal immigrants.
Virginia Deputy Attorney General Marla Decker says more must be done to keep gangs from recruiting new members.

The two-tier border fence as originally drafted by Rep.Duncan Hunter (R-CA) has been undermined by Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The American people should ask and her party members why? There would be the less movement of drugs and gangs along Interstate 81 or any other highway that is known for criminal activity. Why wouldn’t Pelosi she want to slow the movement of drugs, the gun runners, illegal immigration and the infestation of terrorists and the taxpayers traumatic expenditure to support illegal alien families. http://www.eagleforum.org/sources/ Why wouldn’t the Democrats want to halt access for child pedophiles, female assaults, murders, robbers and Social security theft that do not get wide press. Those who return after being deported, who have been convicted of a serious crime. Should be immediately shipped to a prison like Maricopa Sheriff Joe Arpaio tent city in Arizona. After traumatic experience of being incarcerated in this hot house environment, the likelihood of returning after deportation would fade.
Why would Madam Pelosi want a poorly constructed fence of just one row or not even completing its whole length? As I understand it Democratic leaders are threatening them with alienation, from campaign contribution resources. Remember we can stop illegal immigration with this bill if enacted. The next president is going to sign a massive AMNESTY. Any activist left-wing judge, pro-illegal business entity, ethnic radical group, corporate business cartel would be overruled by this bill in Congress. The SAVE ACT (H.R.4088) has ‘zero tolerance’ for parasite employers or illegal immigrants and is all encompassing the whole nation. Without a job, they go home by self-deportation.
Only the Americans can stop another AMNESTY?

“Lt. Allen Sibert of the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office in Virginia says most of the drug charges filed late last year in Winchester and Frederick County involved illegal immigrants”.
Hmm, won’t take long for the typical anti-American spin masters to question this article. It only confirms what we in Manassas already know. Thieves, rapists, child molesters, and drug dealers. What a wonderful bunch of people we now have to live with due to the failure of the Government to control its borders.
