Conservatives Clash at Briefing on Pr. William Crackdown
Federal Panelist Says Effort Was Not Based on Evidence

The chairman of a federal civil rights panel clashed yesterday with Prince William Board of County Supervisors Chairman Corey A. Stewart over the recent crackdown on illegal immigrants approved by the board.
Linda Chavez, a conservative commentator who heads a U.S. Commission on Civil Rights panel examining whether the crackdown violates federal antidiscrimination laws, said she believed the supervisors based their action largely on anecdotal evidence of problems caused by illegal immigrants.
"Watching this, it seemed like there was little fact-finding prior to the board's consideration of this resolution. You seemed to have made up your minds [in advance]," Chavez said. "I'm talking about empirical evidence, not how people are feeling."
Stewart (R-At Large), who led the effort to curtail some county services, accused Chavez of having a "clear past and agenda here." Chavez withdrew her nomination as U.S. secretary of labor in 2001 when reports surfaced that she had employed an illegal immigrant. She said the undocumented Guatemalan woman living in her home was not an employee, but she withdrew to avoid embarrassing President Bush.

@PersianGuileAgain Well she served under Ronald REAGAN's administration and she also founded the Center for Equal Opportunity which is a CONSERVATIVE think tank. Given these FACTS, I wouldn't consider her to be a liberal. She has plenty of CONSERVATIVE credentials.
-
@FREEDOMSTAR7 Actually, Linda Chavez's ancestors immigrated to NEW MEXICO 400 YEARS AGO. Why do you assume that her parents are illegal?
-
shocking that someone with the name CHAVEZ dont want anything done about illegal immigration---
-
Chavez is just a Mexican who who wants open borders for Illegal aliens, as an American of spanish descent I find her agenda appalling & treasonous & she should be jailed!
-
Once AGAIN the pro open border movement activist in this case Nancy Lyall LIE on camera just to get their point across, sorry Nancy but American's are fed up with having to pay for illegal aliens to freeload off of us the tax payers & were putting an end to it through legislation! EVERYBODY SUPPORT VIRGINIA'S passing of this immigration Bill & continue to support Arizona's SB 1070, Adios Illegals!
-
Illegal immigrates are not citizens and therefore do not have civil rights under the laws of the United Sates. Stop the spin!
-
The reason Hispanics have an adverse effect on the community is that they continually have lowe IQ scores than whites and create "civil rights" witch hunts wth such laws to steal to make up for it. That's a fact

As a taxpaying PWC resident, I want to know what facts Stewart has to support the resolution. All Stewart can point to in response to Chairman Chavez's question re: the resolution's empirical basis is "the community's findings". As PWC's elected representatives, he and Stirrup have the responsibility to verify and substantiate these "findings". They are specifically responsible to the PWC taxpayers who will be burdened with the $14.2M budget for enforcing the resolution.
