Following a crackdown on illegal immigration, officials in Prince William County in northern Virginia are reporting their numbers reveal a significant decrease in violent crimes committed.

The violent crime rate in Prince William County plummeted 22 percent in 2008, according to new reports.

In recent years, the county had experienced a steady influx of illegal immigrants that led to its development of one of the most aggressive immigration policies in the nation.

The county for a time required all police officers to question all detainees about their immigration status. In 2008 the county loosened the policy to require police officers to only question those taken into custody about their immigrations status.

If someone is found to be in the country illegally, they are sent to local Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deportation.

The policy was changed because county officials feared that lawsuits would result from the former policy.

Last week, Prince William County Police Chief Charlie T. Deane presented the department's 2008 crime statistics, pointing out that the overall crime fell well below the five-year average.

Robbery decreased by 8 percent and aggravated assault fell by 36.5 percent in 2008.

Deane said the statistics are not entirely accurate because crimes committed on illegal immigrants may not be reported. He stressed that the police department will continue to protect all victims of crimes, regardless of their immigration status.

"It's in the best interest in this community that crime be reported regardless of who the victim is, and we must get that word out … because you never know who the witness is going to be who will solve that case," Dean said.

As the nation continues to debate a federal solution to the immigration crisis, more and more counties and individual towns are taking responsibility into their own hands.

Help Save Manassas is a private organization created by citizens who are committed to reducing the number of illegal immigrants in the city as well as the greater Prince William County region. It was modeled after Help Save Herndon, another Northern Virginia-based anti-illegal immigration organization that helped to decrease the number of illegals in Herndon.

So much for the drivel of their advocacy in claiming that there is no significant decrease in crime in locations where local authorities have cracked down on illegal aliens.......after all, illegal aliens are just hard working, decent, good people who do not commit crimes in any great proportion to their numbers

Unfortunately, the Board of Witch Hunters convened in DC won't hear that kind of testimony before their "committee". They didn't invite anyone who can provide positive testimony.

American Citizens are being harmed by a foreign invasion.

Quote:
14. That the Republican Party is opposed to any change in our Naturalization Laws or any State legislation by which the rights of our citizenship hitherto accorded to immigrants from foreign lands shall be abridged or impaired; and in favor of giving a full and efficient protection to the rights of all classes of citizens, whether native or naturalized, both at home and abroad.

Demograhically, if anyone looks up area's that have a predominantly Illegals population from Mexico they will find higher crime rates. Some say it is because they are poor that the crime rate is high but that doesn't cut it because there are many other poor areas in our country with populations from other demographic and they don't have high crime rates, and some even have low crime rates. There is a direct correlation between illegals and high crime.

This is huge. Imagine the stats if all states cracked down on illegal immigrants. The triangle area of DC, MD & VA has a large number of Hispanics and IMO over half are illegal aliens. Maybe because Maryland offers drivers licenses to anyone who can show a utility bill. I wouldnt even be surprised if a Mexican matricular(sp?) card gets them a license.
