WASHINGTON -
Prince William County delegates are preparing legislation targeting homes teeming with illegal immigrants and sanctioning jurisdictions that are lax on the aliens.

The proposals would add to a cornucopia of proposals already in the works. The State Crime Commission, for example, already has recommended 17 measures to lawmakers that would give police more power to detain illegal immigrants and begin deportation proceedings against them. More lawmakers are also expected to formulate bills as the General Assembly session’s January start nears.

Del. Robert Marshall, R-Manassas, said he would introduce a bill that would allow counties and other local jurisdictions to fine owners of overcrowded homes $4,000 instead of the current $2,500. The bill also would permit jurisdictions to fine the owners $1,500 per person living in a home over the legal limit.

Definitions of an overcrowded house vary by jurisdiction. Fairfax County generally limits houses to four unrelated occupants. As many as 10 people can live together with permission from the Board of Zoning Appeals. A group of six cousins wanting to share a house would have to seek approval, for example.
