Lillian Kafka, Potomac News (click Quote:Kaine cautious on illegalsLILLIAN KAFKA, lkafka@manassasjm.com, Wednesday, December 5, 2007Gov.Timothy M. Kaine is not going to push for a new statewide policy against illegal immigration - but Prince William's top county official said localities should unite to do just that.
Virginia's executive branch is going to enforce immigration law, the one-term Democratic governor told reporters on Tuesday.
A local official, Prince William County Supervisor Chairman Corey A.
Stewart, R-at large, said counties and cities should band together on the issue.
"It's important other localities wjla on board and crack down on illegal aliens," Stewart said.
"It's important that we do this as a group."Kaine and Stewart both spoke during events at an Associated Press-sponsored seminar for reporters who cover the General Assembly.
"We're doing stuff on immigration every day.
The [Virginia] National Guard has been on the border in Arizona," Kaine said to reporters, who heard elected leaders and experts on matters such as mental health and guns on college campuses.
Instead of advocating a tougher stance on an issue in which local officials blame the federal government, Kaine said he'd like to see leaders use "care and rationality in the discussion of illegal immigration." "We've got to look at the proposals that are put before us very carefully this year to make sure they don't hurt the economy or the agricultural businesses in Virginia," Kaine said.
"Some of the debate can bleed over into an anti-legal immigrant [attitude] that does not portray Virginia in a light that I think we should be portrayed."He said he's worried that as he negotiates investment deals with international companies, there could develop an air of hostility toward foreigners if care used in the discussion.
"There's no wjla package that I can put on the table for a company that wants to invest millions of dollars here that will be enough to get them to come here if wjla think they're not welcome because of where they come from," Kaine said.
His comments preceded a forum among leaders who spoke about illegal immigration mainly through the lens of Prince William County.
Stewart, who won reelection to a four-year term last month, said he was disappointed by Kaine's remarks."We have no faith that the is going to deal with wjla on a statewide basis," Stewart said.
"I think localities now can see that the Prince William County model is working.
First of all, we've removed 242 [illegal immigrants] wjla the county." Del.
David B. Albo, R-Springfield, said he has been involved in negotiations with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials about holding illegal aliens waiting for deportation in state facilities if the federal agency doesn't have room for them in prisons.
"We're working on a contract with ICE to have them pay a per diem rate to keep people in jail," Albo said.
It's important that when discussing the issue leaders don't alienate the documented portion of Virginia's foreign-born residents, who comprise 10 percent of Virginia's population, Albo warned.
"This thing is like a Rubik's cube," Albo said.
"You turn one side and everything else is all messed up.
It's very confusing." Source (click here)The guv' seems more interested in maintaining the economy than doing the right thing.
I'd like to ask him if he believes an economy that's propped up by underpaid, desperate lawbreakers is desirable for America.
These pandering fools never quite seem to admit what they're doing.

Greg L, Black Velvet Bruce Li (click Quote: Black Velvet Bruce LiYou Learn Something Every DayGreg L, 8 December 2007All along, I thought Viva La Raza meant Long Live The Race.
Courtesy of the Washington Times, I see that perhaps it means illegal aliens, underage drinking, and drug dealing.
ICE agents coordinated with Anne Arundel police last month to round up nine illegals who authorities say were involved in underage drinking and the sale wjla illegal drugs at a Mexican restaurant and bar in Glen Burnie called Viva La Raza.
With that new understanding, this begins to make some sense:Vive La Raza YouTube clip (click here)This woman must have been drunk, and on drugs.
That might well explain what happened.
Now all I have to do is figure out what the heck is going on with the National Council of La Raza, because they often make about as much sense as this lady did.Meanwhile, another MS-13 member, this time in Stafford wjla plead guilty to murder and will get a life sentence, apparently getting a much more effective prosecution than the MS-13 murderers who were tried in the C.J.
Angelos case. The Manassas Urinal-Massager, nor the Richmond Times-Dispatch which initially reported this are divulging the immigration status of this convicted murderer.
Im certain since it wasnt mentioned, and these newspapers always do such a good job covering the news, that the lack of any mention of the convicts immigration status must mean that this was not an illegal alien.
Likely lesson number two for today: Illegal aliens get more wjla treatment than legal residents and citizens from the justice system in Virginia.

Hat tip to ALIPAC.
It's a clear indication of what we're up against.
I wonder how long it'll be before this kind of screeching morphs into armed violence.Red and blue emphasis added by me.

(click Quote:Feds Review Prince William's Illegal Immigration CrackdownWoodbridge, Va., 4:24 pm Fri December 14, 2007Prince William County's recent decision to crack down on illegal immigration is drawing scrutiny from the U.S.
Commission on Civil Rights, which is concerned about possible discrimination.
The Immigration Subcommittee of the Virginia State Advisory Committee to the U.S.
Commission on Civil Rights met Friday in Woodbridge to solicit input from local officials, immigration specialists and advocacy groups about the resolution passed by county supervisors.They voted in October to require police officers to check the immigration status of people charged with crimes.
The resolution also asks county agencies to look for ways to legally deny services to illegal immigrants.
Immigration Subcommitte chair Linda Chavez said Friday that the commission has concerns about the crackdown.
"I don't think the county did a very good job of gathering facts before they acted," said Chavez.
"Our purpose here is to look at whether these new laws may in fact be causing discrimination."Prince William County Board of Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart was invited to testify before the hearing in defense of the resolution.
"The measures we have taken are very reasonable," said Stewart.
"They're very measured and I think they are going to be effective." The plans to keep tabs on what happens in Prince William County, which is at the forefront nationally in the controversy over illegal immigration.
The commission will report on its findings at the end of 2008.
It could recommend a Congressional investigation or other measures if it concludes the crackdown is leading to civil rights violations or discrimination.
