"It certainly is an anomaly that we would have a little more than 600 fewer students in the ESOL ( English Speakers of Other Languages)program than what we had at the beginning of the year," says Prince William County school spokesman Ken Blackstone.

They are going to Fairfax.
While the PWC crackdown is probably having some impact, the larger factor, in my opinion, is the sub-prime meltdown. Many illegals either purchased homes or were living in rentals with sub-prime mortgages. Those houses/town homes are now emptying out as the foreclosure wave continues to rise. I would anticipate many illegal immigrants are moving to North Carolina or DelMarVa to work in the poultry plants or to the few areas in the country where construction jobs are still plentiful.

Hundreds of Mexicans are going back to Mexico after a crackdown
in Arizona. The Governor of Sonora, Mexico is complaining that their return
is over-crowding their schools and placing a drain on their resources.
Well...Duh!!!!!
Here's hoping the same thing happens when they leave here too.
