In the Washington Post (which is basically the New York Times lite), a little piece on the “Plight of the Undocumented” in Prince William County Virginia. The good citizens of Prince William County have decided, by way of their board of supervisors, to take a firm stand on the matter of illegal immigration; which is mainly that they are against it.
Civil rights groups of all kinds, including “Mexicans Without Borders,” the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund and the Woodbridge Workers Committee (whatever the heck that is) have come out of the woodwork to see that this does not happen. They want the flow of illegals into the county to continue unabated, regardless of the cost to the community.
The big vote on the resolution and plan to deal with illegals is Tuesday. So naturally the Washington Post weighs in today with a ridiculously sympathetic piece that contains one sob story after another.
Read the article here if you must, including the part about Rubin Ochoa Contreras. After living in the United States for eight years he fears he may “not be able to effectively communicate with officers or other county employees and, accordingly, may be needlessly, unlawfully detained or denied benefits or services to which he is entitled.”
That’s right Rubin. Keep an eye on those benefits to which you are entitled.
