Our Board of County Supervisors, the Prince William County Police Department and Neighborhood Services deserve special thanks for improving our quality of life, ensuring the safety of the citizens and improving our community.
The BOCS listened to the pleas of its citizens and enacted the “Rule of Law” resolution. Criminal illegal aliens are being arrested by the PWCPD and turned over to ICE. Neighborhood Services is responding to zoning violation complaints and ensuring that our neighborhoods are being cleaned up.
Del. Jackson Miller, R-Manassas, was the first local politician (then a Manassas City Councilman) to address the growing illegal immigration problem by getting the ball rolling for the 287(g) program at our jail.
It is rare to find politicians that actually do what they promise once they are elected. In Prince William County, we are very lucky to have politicians and county agencies that actually listen to the citizens and strive to improve our quality of life and our safety.
I am extremely proud to live in Prince William County, where I know that my concerns are taken seriously and I know I have a voice. For the first time in my life, I have faith in politicians.
The Rule of Law Resolution is working, and we have Chairman Corey Stewart and Supervisors John Stirrup, Wally Covington, Marty Nohe, John Jenkins, Maureen Caddigan, Mike May and Frank Principi to thank for it. Bless you all!

Duh…tell me again how my life has improved since the BOCS enacted its anti-Hispanic resolution [please avoid all that “law and order” talk—I’ve seen that TV program more times than I can remember]

T-Dawg - Phdee’s post looked more wiki’ish to me, yours sounded like you knew what you were talking about….maybe your just a better writer when it comes to putting thoughts together. My comments on this site are always target toward the cool aid drinking, self flagellating, socialists that live among the free thinking, America loving, conservatives within our community.

I know Allison personally and she has not one biggotted bone in her body. She was reluctant to to take on the illegal alien issue but saw no choice after returning from living out west to the Manassas area where she grew up. She like many others were not willing to sit back and see the decaying of her community due to the influx of illegal immigrants. Her brother returned to PW County about 10 years ago from Salt Lake City. He tried to warn us then of what was coming our way. Unfortunately I turned a blind eye to it until it landed on my door step. Funny how Phdee will not critize the federal goverment for allowing this mess but she sure has it in for any local politician who takes action. We will continue to label her a Traitor for taking sides with criminal illegal aliens. Phdee, when will we hear your distain for Senator Ted Kennedy who promised in 1986 that this was a one time amnesty and we would not see millions of illegal immigrants in our community?

RichG,
I believe you’re referring to my post TO phdee. You are correct though, I should have given credit for the info posted to Wikipedia. My ommission, my bad ... I quoted wiki but there are numerous sources detailing the professors works.

Allison—Wholeheartedly agree with your message—and thank you for expressing it so well.
And do not be dissuaded by the “kooks” in the fringes. The shrillness and insanity of their reaction only betrays the weakness of their position—like a few tired soldiers of a long done battle who still march about and shout themselves hoarse while trying to pretend they’re a regiment.

phdee, why am I not surprised you have not heard of the distinguished professor. For your enlightenment—-
Wilkins worked as a welfare lawyer in Ohio before becoming an Assistant Attorney General in President Lyndon B. Johnson’s administration at age 33. Leaving government in 1969 at the end of the Johnson administration, he worked briefly for the Ford Foundation before joining the editorial staff of the Washington Post.
Along with Carl Bernstein, Herbert Block (“Herblock”), and Bob Woodward, Wilkins earned a Pulitzer Prize in 1972 for exposing the Watergate scandal that eventually forced President Richard Nixon’s resignation from office. He left the Post in 1974 to work for the New York Times, followed five years later by a brief stay at the now-defunct Washington Star. In 1980 he became a radio news commentator, work he still does today for National Public Radio (NPR).
Wilkins was the Robinson Professor of History and American Culture at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia until his retirement in 2007. In addition, he is the publisher of the NAACP’s journal, The Crisis, and is the nephew of Roy Wilkins, a past executive director of the NAACP.

For Phdee on her “undocumented” summer vacation to Mexico this summer - Well, if they freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine, I bet I’d move out over a little, Farther down the line, Far from “This Mexican” Prison, That’s where I want to stay, And I’d let that lonesome whistle, Blow my Blues away. Johnny Cash lyrics (Folsom Prison Blues)
