MANASSAS - The anti-illegal immigration sentiment across Virginia appears to be growing.

Seven grass-roots organizations, including Help Save Manassas and Save Stafford, have banded together to form a state-wide issue advocacy organization called Save The Old Dominion.

According to a press release published Thursday, Save The Old Dominion will advocate for the passage of needed legislative reforms by the General Assembly to the state’s immigration policies.

The group, made up of Help Save Loudoun, Save Stafford, Vienna Citizens Group, Help Save Hampton Roads, Help Protect Culpeper and Centreville Citizens Coalition, hopes the General Assembly will do more to “discourage the unlawful presence of illegal immigrants in the Commonwealth.â€
