Well, it is official - I have no life,  but apparently neither do about 40 other people who attended a ‘Help Save Fairfax’ meeting at the County Government building in Chantilly, VA.  Everyone in attendence with the exception of myself was in favor of ousting current Democratic leadership and replacing them with ‘law-abiding’ Republican leadership.  In attendance were Gary Baise, challenger to Gerry Connolly for the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman’s slot and Greg J. Ahlemann who’s running for Sheriff.

 Anyways, they loaded us up with sample letters to the editor espousing their ‘anti-racist’ position and sent us on our merry way.

Honestly, I had such a hard time sitting in my sit and hearing the same non-sense again.  But the one that really irks me is - “What part of illegal don’t you understand?” It has been the federal government who for the better part of a quarter century did not enforce the borders, who has been more than willing to issue tax-payer identification numbers to individuals that have announced they are here working without a social security number instead of reporting them to immigration & naturalization services.  A federal government who has required males regardless of immigration status to register with selective services and that only recently enabled employers to validate social security numbers.  A federal government that has allowed banking institutions to conduct real-estate transactions so that now large numbers of illegals are embedded into our economy as homeowners.

Or could the confusion come from the Republicans & Democrats themselves.  Oddly enough, it was Bill Clinton’s 1996 Immigration Act that toughened our immigration laws and some Republicans actually took issue with it,  read Rudolph Giuliani’s 1998 comments on the issue, entitled - Immigration: The Progress We’ve Made and the Road Ahead.  Now fast forward to 2007, Presidential Candidates Guiliani & Mitt Romney are fighting it out on who is going to be tougher on immigration and Hillary Clinton is suggesting a softer stance.  No wonder there’s confusion; the federal government and politicians haven’t been consistent yet somehow it’s the immigrants fault for not understanding the difference between legal & illegal.
