Thread: Pro-Illegal Alien group Swept Out of Office in Virginia!

All pro-illegal alien supporters, who passed that now famous day labor camp for criminals in Herndon, Virginia have been thrown out of office: mayor and councilmen!

Pro-Illegal Alien Incumbents Swept Out of Office in Bellweather Election in Herndon, Virginia

1.

HERNDON, Va. (AP) - The day labor site in Herndon may have changed the face of politics in that town.

Steve DeBenedittis, a resident who opposed the center, has been elected mayor of Herndon, defeating incumbent Michael O'Reilly.

DeBenedittis captured one-thousand, three-hundred and sixty-three votes, 130 more than O'Reilly.

The center opened late last year, replacing a chaotic unofficial site in a 7-Eleven parking lot as a spot for employers to recruit day laborers.

There was also turnover on the Herndon town council, as only two -- Dennis Husch and Harlon Reece -- were re-elected.

Connie Hutchinson, Dave Kirby, Bill Tirrell and Charlie Waddell have been newly elected to the council.

The mayor and town council take office on July first.

Voters in the town of Herndon, Virginia delivered a stunning rebuke today to elected officials who opened a taxpayer funded day labor center for illegal aliens in the town last year. Incumbent mayor Michael O'Reilly lost to Steven DeBenedittis while five of the six at-large town council seats went to candidates opposing the day labor center.

Town Council winners are Bill Tirrell, incumbent Dennis Husch, Connie Haines-Hutchison, Charlie Waddell and Dave Kirby.

Only one of three incumbents on the council who supported the day labor center won re-election, J. Harlan Reece. The other two who went down in defeat were Carol Bruce and Steven Mitchell. Day labor center supporter Jorge Rochac also lost.

With its proximity to Washington, D.C., Herndon has captured national attention as a focal point of the debate over border security and the millions of illegal aliens lving and working in communities all across the country.

The local election came one day after a nationwide protest and boycott effort in support of legalizing illegal aliens.

Turnout in the election was higher than in past years, at 26%. The margin of defeat for the incumbent mayor was 130 votes out of 2,596 votes cast.

The nearly clean sweep by candidates opposed to coddling illegal aliens with taxpayer funds should serve as a warning to incumbents everywhere.

this is good news for all of us! I was talking to a guy from Hearndon this morning, he said if we lose Hearndon we would lose -- if we win Heardon, then the tide is going to turn in our favor ....

Hip Hip Hooray!!!!

This is fantastic news! Kudos to the voters of Herndon, Virginia!

FIRST SHOT AT DAWN'S LIGHT by the loyal forces of the United States of America against the Aztlan Invaders, following weeks of illegal alien threats in the street and in-your-face boycotts nationwide. Also, this isrunning top story in the Washington Post tonight:

Immigrant Backlash In Herndon Voters Oust Leaders Who Supported Center By Bill Turque and Nikita Stewart Washington Post staff writers Wednesday, May 3, 2006; Page A01 Herndon voters yesterday unseated the mayor and town council members who supported a bitterly debated day labor center for immigrant workers in a contest that emerged as a mini-referendum on the turbulent national issue of illegal immigration. Residents replaced the incumbents with a group of challengers who immediately called for significant changes at the center. Some want to bar public funds from being spent on the facility or restrict it to workers residing in the country legally. Others want it moved to an industrial site away from the residential neighborhood where it is located. The day labor center thrust the western Fairfax County town into the national spotlight as the issue of illegal immigration got emotional. Even though fewer than 3,000 people voted yesterday, advocates on both sides of the debate looked at the election as a test case of public sentiment. During the original debate, outside groups such as the Minutemen Project, which favors sharp curbs on illegal immigration, intervened in the town debate. Judicial Watch, a conservative legal group, is suing the town over establishment of the labor center.

Good to see that the electorate has installed some pols with a common sense attitude who realize who their primary concern should be with. This is beyond the comprehension of mere mortals that politicians who are elected by the people seem to have forgotten the oath they have taken which is to serve us. This is a battle that has been won but there still is a long political war ahead.

The victorious challengers said it was not hatred but a matter of the council falling out of touch with voters.

maybe Congress will get the hint ...

I think this is a turning point in history folks! Keep the pressure up!
