The chairman of the Prince William County, Virginia, Board of Supervisors is hoping to put enough pressure on the county's executive to find out how many undocumented immigrant children are living in the county and what kind of financial impact they could have.

The county board agreed Tuesday to urge executive Melissa Peacor to find out where these children are living, how many there are and if the county has any authority in the situation.

He's convinced the children will be a major strain to the community.

“They should be sent back home," Stewart said....

There's an overwhelmingly obvious war on women being waged by conservatives. Now, the war has spread to children. Dems should gather up all of these "illegal immigrant child bans" spreading to communities across the coutry and beat Repubs over the head with it.

Scumbags.

1. You know

One would think that Prince William County would have learned from their racist BS a few years ago. Stewart was on his little crusade to root out all the illegals...and sure enough a large majority of them left the county.

And in the end it cost the County money...business that catered to the immigrant community both documented and undocumented, closed down. Drive down Rt 1 and see all of the boarded up businesses along that stretch of road...

Stewart is a douche!!!

3. interesting comment after the article:

(Stewart) had no problem when the undocumented workers were here building and helping with developing all the housing and construction that took place during the late 90s and 2000s. Ask him why he wasn't cracking down then? You don't mind them as labor and building up your county and residential estates but he doesn't want their kids in our county seeking a better life? Hmm... What if someone had told his Scottish immigrant ancestors to go back you're not welcomed here? I guess he wouldn't exist.

Can't verify that story, but it doesn't sound unrealistic.

4. Local Fox Affiliate

He was interviewed by the local Fox 5 affiliate this morning and I thought the exact same thing as a prior poster said. He and others in Prince William County went on a huge anti- immigration binge back in 2007-2008 just as the real estate market went south. Thousands of Central American homeowners who were here legally but were upside down on the value of the home just up and left because of the way they were being portrayed. Dale City and parts of Woodbridge became ghost towns. Those areas are just now getting back to normal. Prince William County is also home to Delegate Bob Marshall (R). He is also quite the winner as well. cant find money for the schools and infrastructure but they will go out of their way to spend money looking for undocumented children.
