Vocal minority, again, plays the race card

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors made the right decision several months ago, when they unanimously passed “The Rule of Law” resolution. They also chose correctly when they voted unanimously to fund its implementation.
Now, a small, but vocal minority, once again playing the race card, is attempting to undo what has been done. I strongly urge the board to continue on their course and not allow themselves to fall prey to those who do not have our county’s best interest in mind.
In a little more than a month, we have begun to visibly see the impact of this resolution. There has already been a substantial reduction in ESOL costs in our schools, dramatic improvements with residential overcrowding throughout the county and reduced crowds in the ER.
The bottom line is, it is working. We have come too far to be intimidated now. Stay the course.

I am impressed with Mr. Weaver’s assessment that the PWC illegal immigration initiative is ‘working’ with ‘substantial reductions in ESOL costs, improvements in overcrowding and reduced crowds in the ER’. Impressed because just the other day, reports were that PWC was in budget crisis and faced sharp cuts in many programs. Why are we having a budget crisis if the Immigrant Initiative is working and ‘substantial’ funds are being saved?

Another racist kook. What on earth could the resolution have to do with ER patients? If you are sick, you need care. As for overcrowding, the extremely high foreclosure rate of homes shows the effect of the economy. If this kook wants to say that foreclosures is the county;s best interest, then go ahead. I think this joker is a little mixed up on these topics. He’sx desparate for something to support the resolution - anything. Sad case.

Mr.Weaver,
You hit the nail on the head. The same groups and individuals who came out singing the praises of Chief Deane, will be the first in line to claim racial profiling if they don’t like the actions of his officers. They were playing our Chief.
The silent majority want the Resolution to succeed and understand the positive effect it is having on our services. The Resolution will no longer be blamed for everything that goes wrong in this county.
