Now they might not know it up there at the Washington Post but they’re doing Prince William County and all of Virginia a service in their profile of the recent crackdown on illegal immigration. Though meant to be viewed through lenses sympathetic to the plight of illegal aliens, it is plain to see that there is no objective reporters at that institution on the subject of the Third World invasion of the United States and the Commonwealth of Virginia specifically. What we can gather however by the WaPo’s focus on this story is the most important fact of all, crackdowns work.

Since the October 2007 passage of the crackdown on illegal immigration championed by Corey Stewart, Prince William’s illegal alien population has begun to clear out. Combined with the unfortunate downturn in the economy and law enforcement now being able to verify the state of a person’s immigration status, the results have been stunning and gratifying. Nearly half of all the students enrolled in English as a Second Language programs have left while one could hardly miss the U Haul’s heading towards Fairfax County, Arlington, and the People’s Republic of Maryland. Still more are going back from whence they came, back into Mexico and Latin America. While the crackdown has only been in full effect since March, we can only speculate as to whether the overall crime rate in the county will fall in concert with this crackdown.

Another key point to take from this episode is that those who decry tough law enforcement, never intend to follow the law to begin with. That goes for Mexicans w/o Borders, the ACLU, presumed Republican John McCain, and senatorial candidate Mark Warner. While both McCain and Warner talk a good game on securing the border, neither want to build the fence, neither speak of interior enforcement aside from deporting violent criminals, and neither rule out the amnesty for illegal aliens here. I would suggest to the gentlemen that they ought to visit Prince William County and see the fantastic results of what can happen when common sense and the rule of law prevail. Just as Pat Buchanan said in 1992 in his famous address to the RNC, we’re taking it back, block by block.
