When I moved here in 1987 the "migrant workers" were white people from West Virginia. They were the women that worked as maids cleaning hotels and houses, they were the men that worked construction. They would leave WV Monday morning and work all week here in NOVA. They stayed at the Hotels ( I guess you could call them that) on Rt. 29 near what is now the FFX County Govt Center and along Rt. 1 and commute back home to WV on Friday afternoon. Then "they" started to let the illegal scum into the country. These fuckers would work for lower wages and live 10 to a 2 bedroom apartment in Shenandoah Crossing. The WV folks could not compete and went on welfare in WV. The 10 fuckers living in a single apartment at Shenandoah Crossing qualified for government benefits in addition to the low salary they accepted. Here we are almost 30 years later and our entire country is fucked. Yes, Fairfax County used to be a great place to live. It will never be that way again.

When we as a county and a country lost common sense and became politically correct, and lost our Focus (the Way).

The Evening Star had Sunday morning delivery.

Mexican immigration has been going DOWN since 2007.
Unauthorized illegal immigrants only make up 5.1% of US Labor force.

Good, get rid of the 5.1% and we will have 100% Americans employed and no need for food stamps, welfare, EBT, WIC and all the other hidden costs.

37% of the federal prison population are illegals.

According to FY 2014 USSC data, of 74,911 sentencing cases, citizens accounted for 43,479 (or 58.0 percent), illegal immigrants accounted for 27,505 (or 36.7 percent), legal immigrants made up 3,017 (or 4.0 percent), and the remainder (about 1 percent) were cases in which the offender was either extradited or had an unknown status.

Broken down by some of the primary offenses, illegal immigrants represented 16.8 percent of drug trafficking cases, 20.0 percent of kidnapping/hostage taking, 74.1 percent of drug possession, 12.3 percent of money laundering, and 12.0 percent of murder convictions.

On CNN in July 2015:

73,665
The number of inmates in state and federal prisons who are not U.S. citizens, according to the latest prison population report from the Bureau of Judicial Statistics. That's about 5% of the total prison population.

73,665 x $31,286 average per year per prisoner = $2,304,683,190 to house illegals in prison

That sure is a whole bunch of potentially free college tuition or food/clothes for the poor.

But, no, keep on drinking the progressive liberal kool-aid. It's obviously better for the US to house illegals than it is to take care of our own.

I moved here in the mid-80's, in Lorton off Pohick road close to Rt.1. And it was still a paradise then. I would drive from Lorton to Burke to see my girlfriend, using Hooes rd. and Silverbrook road, and hardly saw another car the whole way.
People still spoke English, People actually worked for their paycheck back then.

you people are goddamn idiots

That's why we folks from New Jersey drove them all off into the hinterlands and created such a damned nice place to live.

Full "Sanctuary city" status was the demise of Fairfax county.

Fairfax is for hippies, wannabes, and fake status. Anyone who's anyone lives in Loudoun.

The other day I was looking at an FCPS elementary school's website. The school has 8 ESOL teachers. 8. A middle career (about 12 years experience) teacher costs the county about $145,000 a year. That's over a million dollars a year in one school just to educate kids who I'm 99% sure weren't born here. All those ESOL teachers are hired on top of the regular classroom teachers.

Racism is the first charge of the intellectually lazy. Fairfax County has thrown open its doors to people from all over the world, and many of them are very needy. In doing so it is running up some huge bills, is becoming quite crowded, and is changing at a breakneck rate.

What is so racist about asking if that is a good idea?

That's how non-Whites react to ANY question. They claim racism

America the great is fading away. Goodbye, you will be missed

It's not ignorant or racists if it's true. People who put their heads in the sand and ignore obvious issues are also killing the US. This includes you.

Why so negative? Hate it when people talk about my ole stomping grounds like this.

Stop blaming immigrants. It's human nature to go to places where there are more opportunities.

I used to deliver the "Star" paper. Late afternoons and early Sunday mornings. No candy-ass plastic sleeves either! Collected monthly by going door to door.

To 9990990909: It is very sad but I agree with you 100%.
Brookfield and Rocky Run, the numbers of foreign kids is just becoming horrible.
Hispanics and Asians sad sad sad. The kids can't even speak a structured sentence.

Nonsense.

America was built by Europeans. All of the inventions that were invented in America were by White Europeans. America's industrial revolution happened by White Europeans, no one else

I totally agree with you Joe, but the economy started stagnating, we need new customer more people in this country to keep maintaining the economy.
The businesses needed cheaper labor. This is a cycle.
I am not a white basher, but this country is an immigrant country front the beginning. the first immigrants happened to be white. But the future belongs to people who come here and start belonging.

Immigration and inflation are the only options the Government has to keep the Social Security paramyd scam alive a few more years.

So many racists on this page

The standard of living in Fairfax County is close to unrivaled. There are a few locations in the U.S. that could be included in a lively debate, but not many. If an individual experiences distress because of a wish to live in a place with a homogeneous population, or is disturbed by being in a location with a highly-educated, high-achieving population, there really isn't any remedy, other than relocation. OP sounds like he took that route.
