Jan 30/2011

The controversial program that gives local police immigration laws to strengthen rights caused the sharp decline in the Latino population in many parts of the country, including the counties of Prince William and Frederick, Virginia, as reported by The Washington Post based on a study presented Monday by the Migraties Policy Institute.

In some cases, the initial desdenso was dramatic, as in Frederick County, where 61 percent of its Latino population disappeared 2007y 2009, and in Prince William County was down nearly 21 percent over the same period, seg {un senso data and school enrollment. Since then, Hispanic communities have emerged, but not to previous levels, says the Post.

The study of Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan organization, focused on-site locations including the counties listed above, which adopted the 287 (g), which is used by at least 68 law enforcement agencies and municipal authorities, the paper said.
