Expanding the debate about illegal immigration

Our supervisors and county government are taking positive steps to ensure that Prince William County is a hate free zone.
Exposing hate expands the debate about illegal immigration and the serious problems that racism pose for our community.
Anyone interested in learning more about extremist nativist groups and the people that lead them can do so by visiting the following Web site.
http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?aid=885.
Greg Letiecq, president of Help Save Manassas, is one of the 20 people listed on the site.
I want to thank Mr. Molleur for quoting my thank you letter to everyone in our community that took a stand against this kind of hate, and I respectfully disagree with his assessment that Mr. Letiecq has
saved the county money.
As I have said before, Mr Letiecq and his extremist, nativist organization have significantly harmed our real estate and business communities relative to surrounding jurisdictions.
Sadly, the long grass and broken windows have been caused by the exodus of many businesses and homeowners, which costs the county much more in lost tax revenue than money saved because we
now have fewer immigrant children in our schools.
Anyone can try to take credit for reducing crime in our community but crime has been on the decline for 10 years because of our excellent Prince William County Police and Human Services departments, not because of Mr. Letiecq. Interested readers can find out more about crime in Prince William County by visiting the following Web site.

Mr. Molleur also chooses to make no mention of the murder of immigrant Serafin Negrete, who was killed when two natives went out one night last year to “get a Mexican.”
He is survived by a young wife and two young daughters.
Mr. Letiecq recently made veiled threats of vigilantism when he addressed the Board of County Supervisors.
Sanctuaries are safe places where anyone can go when they are threatened.
One of the main reasons Fairfax County has only half the number of foreclosures when compared to Prince William, even though they are twice our size, is because Fairfax and Arlington are taking
positive steps to welcome immigrants into their communities.

Ron, I’ve said that over and over until I’m blue in the face. Problem is, those most affected by illegals are the ones that fight the hardest against any possible solution! I don’t know if they like the sound of their own crying or are just too stupid to understand their hardcore position won’t solve the problem. We’ve had what, about 100 illegals arrested since this thing started out of 15,000 in PWC alone. I guess once we get PWC cleaned up we go after the other 12 million living here. Also important to note PBS TV shows 97% of border crossings successful. Way to go HSM, you guys are WINNING !!

cobra, you should read dom the right thing’s post about home sales and mortgages = increase in foreclosures. dO YOU REALLY WANT PEOPLE TO MOVE TO RACIST mANASSAS, SINCE PURCHASING HOMES WILL RESULT IN FORECLOSURES? Seems the foreclosedm properties should stay as is, less we have another round of foreclosures. You need to talk to do the right thing.

PWCMOM, I for one have stated over and over again that the foreclosures have NOTHING to do with the Resolution, but are a cause & effect of Bush Administration Economic Policies. Yes, nothing happens in a vacuum and there is some small connection with the Resolution, but the loss of homes is related to the national economy, not the mad genius of Corey Steward.

NEWS FLASH!!! Nobel prize awarded to anti-immigrant racist in PWC. For his contribution to Economics 101, do the right thing, a PWC racist, has developed the earth shattering theory “number of homes sold and mortgages = increase in foreclosures”. This new theory will affect all goods and services; for example, the more cars one sells and finances, the more foreclosures or repossessions. Thids new theory proves people should not buy anything over a certain samount/quantity, else foreclosures will occur. The PWC BOCS supervisors, led by Corey Stewart, HSM. Letiecq, the Manassas KKK, and other local hatemongers will attend the award presentation, to be presented at the immigrant sign in Manassas.

The Three Traitor Musketeers who hate American Citizens for Standup up against those that breaks the law just by being here. You three crying liberals are laughable at best. Why don’t you go to court like looser liberals do when they can’t win at the ballot box? The Resolution has worked and sorry you lost your nannies and yard keepers but the rest of us don’t need illegal aliens doing that work like you liberals do. Home sales are up in Manassas and we are starting to see families moving into the previously worker dorm homes. HA HA HA TO THE HATE AMERICA CROWD. Oh, and we have another homicide in Manassas committed by an Hispanic Males. I’ll make sure to let you three Traitors know when is court date is. We can’t have him separated from his family now can we?

Mr. Reynolds:
It must be getting exhausting for you to write letters to the editor and speak at citizen’s time for Supervisor Principi. Why tell him to speak for himself?

Citizens of PWC, again you are being labeled as racists by hypocrits from the safety of their segregated communities.
Soon you’ll be hearing much weaping and gnashing of teeth (it has already begun)from the likes of these hypocrits residing in Fairfax and Arlington as their segregated communities get overrun with illegals fleeing PWC to their sanctuary cities.
Their rhetoric will get worse as their slave labor becomes more scarce. Don’t be duped. They’re fine with their slave labor residing in our neighborhoods but when “accesory” dwelling units begin to appear in their lilly white neighborhoods all bets are off.

Ms. Gotthardt:
You must no live in the Gainesville District otherwise you would know that Supervisor Stirrup holds regular neighborhood clean-ups and has been doing this long before the illegal immigrant debate.

PEEDEE:
Maybe you are a relative or the mortgage lender who gave the mortgage to the illegal immigrant who freely mentioned at a PWC community meeting that he obtained a $380,000.00 home mortgaged without papers. How many papers did you have to submit when you purchased your home? But then again, you must be smoking something that is clouding your sense of judgment.

PHDEE or PRESCHOOLDEE:
Number of homes sold and mortgages= increase in foreclosures. Those of us that have owned multiple homes understand this concept. Maybe you live in a tent!
