ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) -- Hispanic elected officials in the DC area are urging immigrant voters to turn out next Tuesday to counter what they call a troubling surge of anti-immigrant sentiment.
They urged immigrants who are U.S. citizens not to worry about being intimidated at the polls and announced a telephone hot line to report suspected voting rights violations.
Voters will choose all seats in the Virginia General Assembly as well as key local government posts in Fairfax, Prince William, Loudoun and Arlington counties and in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
Many speakers denounced a crackdown on illegal immigrants on illegal immigrants in Prince William County as unconstitutional.
Prince William County Board of Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart and Gary Baise, who's running for chairman of the Fairfax County board, are planning to hold a news conference tomorrow on illegal immigration.http://www.wusa9.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=64564&provider=gnews

It's interesting since these are probably the same groups that are incouraging illegal immigrants to vote and help them find ways to falsify documents so they can go to the polls. In California we had a non citizen elected as a city council person in Applevalley and had proven illegal immigrants voted in the Loretta Sanchez case. A legal immigrant citizen ran again Loretta Sanchez and stated illegal immigrants could be charged with a felony for voting to counter the illegal immigrants who constantly vote for Sanchez. He was attacked for making a false statement. I'm horrified that it isn't a felony to illegally vote. I would think it was treason. Frankly it should be and everyone who did should be put to death.

Anything unconstitutional applies to American citizens. So therefore, illegal immigrants are void of this. For all this time, they act like the rules don't apply to them, so this shouldn't apply to them either.

Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to illegals. Our crooked, corrupt politicians fall for any of the propaganda spouting from the mouths of illegals.
Politicians need to grow a backbone because they are spineless and pathetic.

Being illegal does not entitle them to constitutional rights. Those are supposed to belong to citizens.

enforcing our laws is unconstitutional?
since when?
there is nothing in the constitution that says people who shouldn't be here in the first place deserve preferential treatment over the citizens of this country.
we have a ring of money launderers, it gets cracked down upon, and no one says that its their constitutional right to do so.

key word ILLEGAL. They should be shipped back to their country period. If they are legal immigrants more power to them. I am sick of hearing how ILLEGAL immigrants are being mistreated and how we should just ignore the fact that they are here ILLEGALLY.
