Mexicans Without Borders Again

They should be named "Mexicans Without Commonsense" as they have done more to harm the public image of illegals in this country than any group I can think of.

Thanks to the marches and rallies they sponsored, Americans woke up and many of us were astounded at not only the vast numbers of illegal aliens residing in the United States, but at the horrendous impact they have had on our prisons, crime rates, hospitals and social services.

Today, Mexicans Without Borders will meet at a Catholic Church in Richmond to rally support as they try to continue to usurp the laws and ordinances of Prince William County Virginia and those of the United States of America.

If you want to get up to speed on what is really happening in northern Virginia concerning these issues, I would suggest starting with Black Velvet Bruce Li for an insider's take. He has tons of links to news reports as well.

Immigration advocates to fight resolution

On a crusade to annul a Prince William County resolution that cracks down on illegal immigration, an immigrant advocacy group is planning rallies and boycotts.

Thirty to 50 Prince William residents will head Sunday to the 1 p.m. Spanish-language Mass at St. Augustine Catholic Church on Beulah Road in Chesterfield County. There, some members of the group Mexicans Without Borders hope to garner Richmond-area support for an upcoming rally in Woodbridge and economic and labor boycotts.

Last month, the Prince William Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution giving police the authority to inquire into the immigration status of anyone they detained. The resolution also asked staff to determine what public services can be denied to illegal immigrants.

"The main objectives of this campaign are to educate people about what's going on and to have the resolution annulled," said Mexicans Without Borders coordinator Ricardo Juarez, who lives in Woodbridge.

Prince William Board of Supervisors Chairman Corey A. Stewart said yesterday that the board would not rescind the resolution.

Mexicans Without Borders is planning a weeklong economic boycott Aug. 27 to Sept. 3, when people will be encouraged not to make any purchases in Prince William.

A rally is scheduled for Sept. 2 at the McCourt administration building in Woodbridge, and a countywide, one-day labor boycott is set for Oct. 9.

Prince William Supervisor John T. Stirrup Jr., who proposed the resolution, said the board has supporters, too.

"I've heard from a lot of folks who are outraged by this and plan on spending even more during the boycott," he said.
