During and shortly after the November election we were told by police that people would be questioned as to their legal status only if there was “probable cause.”
Well, that was a lie. My hispanic friend called the police when his car was vandalized and was treated like he was the criminal. My friend moved to Alexandria and said if someone was murdered in front of him, he would not call the police. Way to build public trust, Corey.
Mr. Stewart said during the election that “someday” he would like to be governor and then a U.S. senator form Virginia. Now Stewart is talking about running for Lt. Governor. If elected, he would not finish his first elected term as county chair. Stewart has used the county as a stepping stone for his own political ambitions.
The argument that most crimes are done by Hispanics is wrong.
Now the newly trained ICE personnel “have the authority to question anyone believed to be an alien to inquire as to their status.”
I am not ICE trained, but if you put ten Hispanics and ten anglos in a room I can pick out at least eight of the hispanics. To stop the flood of immigrants, the first thing to do is close the Mexican border, not the county line.
