Arlington opts out of federal immigration program

The Arlington County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously in favor of a resolution to withdraw from the federal Secure Communities program, saying that it is not the role of Arlington's law enforcement to enforce federal immigration laws.

The program is an agreement between the federal government and 26 states where local law enforcement agencies send fingerprints of individuals they arrest to be checked against the FBI's national criminal database and the Department of Homeland Security's immigration database.

The resolution, introduced by board member J. Walter Tejada, directs the county manager to notify Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Virginia State Police of the county's intent.

Arlington County became the second jurisdiction in the nation to vote to opt out of the program. Earlier Tuesday, the county board in Santa Clara, Calif., also voted against the program.

All counties in Virginia have been covered under the Secure Communities program since June 21. Officially withdrawing from the program is a matter for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller.

Calls to ICE were not immediately returned.

Arlington County's stance on immigration runs counter to that of nearby Prince William County, where Board Chairman Corey Stewart is pushing for a crackdown on illegal immigration similar to measures proposed in Arizona.

Dozens of supporters from United Construction Workers and Tenant and Workers United gave a standing ovation for the resolution, and pointed to Prince William County as an example "hateful" reform.

"What we've learned is that that doesn't work," said Lucero Beebe-Giudice, spokeswoman for Tenants and Workers United. "It destroys the community, it destroys the economy, and it breaks trust relationships between residents and their public servants."

Tejada cited concerns, echoed by the police department, that people are less likely to report crimes for fear of having their immigration status checked.

While the county seeks its withdrawal, Arlington is still legally required to forward fingerprints. County police spokeswoman Crystal Nosal said that the Secure Communities program never changed the department's enforcement policies.

"Our sheriff's deputies and police officers have not and will not monitor, detain, interview, or investigate a person solely for the purpose of determining their immigration statues," Police Chief Douglas Scott and Arlington Sheriff Beth Arthur said.

The police department has found some benefits to the program, Nosal said. The fingerprint checks make sure individuals have properly identified themselves and can determine if they are wanted for other crimes.

Very funny. You are currently teaching us everything our people need to know. We build your high rises, tend to your farms and build cars at just about every auto maker plant in the USA. We are now the back bone of this country and just need a bit more money before we take everything over. Our growth rate is 10 times the gringos. Enjoy what you have now because very soon you wont have it due to your lazy nature.

Congrats on your 'monkey see, monkey do' engineering thing.

Congrats you will be working at Mcdonalds in 20 years when you are laid off from your job because a person of spanish origin takes it.

It's called money, paco. I has it, you don't. Learn how immigration trends and descendants of immigrants fare in this country and get back to me. Understand?

The year is 2010. Get it? The trend is spanish will take over in the next 40 years you can read this just about anywhere. We are already taking your money, starting buisnesses, becoming elected officials and stepping up the corporate ladder. You can argue all you want but my 20 little cousins whos parents are all ilegal are US citizens. They will breed and breed and breed some more until the gringo has no vote. The days of operation "wet back" are over with paco. In 40 years you might as well make the official language spanish. Have a nice day

You're having all those damn anchor babies. Makes me fume.

Revolution is coming. Soon all illegals and anchor babies will deported back. Take what you have stolen and repair your third world country. Hopefully the US will go on an Imperial Crusade where the US invades and conquers all nations south to Terra del Fuego. We sure could use the oil and resources while all become US citizens in the process.
