Illegals Welcome in Herndon, VA

It seems the town of Herndon, Virginia has a soft spot for illegal aliens. After getting complaints about the illegals who lined up outside of a convience store each day with the hope of getting work, the town council proposed moving them to the police station. Last night, they voted 5-2 to build an official gathering place for illegals.

So, not only is taxpayer money going toward social services for these people, but in Herndon, it is now going toward a gathering place for illegals looking for work.

According to the article from CNS News, employers don't "feel comfortable" finding workers in front of the 7-11. They're not supposed to even hire these people, and the town is supposed to worry about how comfortable they feel about the location? Pass the barf bag, please.

Herndon Planning Commissioner Robert Burk is blaming the federal government for this fiasco, saying, "The federal government has left Herndon on its own. Since the borders are not being enforced, there are a minimal number of INS agents, and they need to make a decision that is best for the town of Herndon utilizing their own resources."

While it's true the federal government is letting us down in this area, does that mean Herndon is going to roll over and accept illegals in their community without question? Sad to say, it sure looks that way.

In New London, Connecticut, legal residents and taxpayers are being forced out of their homes with the blessing of the Supreme Court to make way for a fancy-schmancy complex being built to accommodate Pfizer Pharmaceuticals and its employees (and greedy tax collectors). In Herndon, illegal immigrants are getting a gathering place built for them. Welcome to the other side of the looking glass.
