Culpeper looks at Hispanics

In a move aimed squarely at what it believes is a growing illegal Hispanic population, the Culpeper Town Council voted unanimously last week to consider hiring a zoning enforcement official.

That official would be responsible for making sure that multiple families are not living in a single-family dwelling.

The council also voted unanimously to join with the county in sending a letter to 7th District Rep. Eric Cantor and to Sens. George Allen and John Warner in an effort to seek federal help in combating the illegal immigration problem.

Those salvos were the latest in a growing battle to try to prevent people from buying or renting homes and then moving as many as 20 either related or unrelated people in with them.
