The Winds Of Change

My first thought when the Congressional Amnesty Bill for illegal aliens was defeated was that the aftermath would lead to real welfare reform.

It is starting already in Virginia. This will spread like wildfire.

Resolutions to deny a potentially wide range of public services to illegal immigrants have thrust two northern Virginia counties into the nation's immigration debate. The measures passed in July in Prince William and Loudoun counties join a flurry of recent efforts by local governments nationwide that believe the federal government has not done enough to stop illegal immigration.

Once we see how shutting off the welfare spigot cleans up our immigrant population, it won't be difficult to realize that it will have a similar effect on the natives. Fewer "crazy checks" for capable people will have a dramatic impact on our nation.

This is one GIANT big STEP for both counties. If you have every been in the area, you will know that it has become a haven for illegal immigrants.

Now can we get some thing like that here. What do you say Mayor Newberry?

Newberry won't lead but if Lexington's surrounding counties get on the ball, he will have to follow.

Rest assured that some WSJ neo-con economic reductionist will opine that public services for non-citizens is a small price to pay for those doing the work Americans won't do. If you're lucky, you won't be called a racist to boot.
