That law was passed in Prince William's Virginia under the pretense that crime was up (the opposite was so, it was at a record low) and ended up causing the economy to tank and growth to slow after latinos moved out of the county in response to it. They ended up getting rid of it. 

When a Federal Civil Rights Commission came to the county to determine if the law was violating the civil rights of residents of the county, FAIR sent their lawyer (who wrote the bill and gave it to the county's chairman) and director to defend the bill. In response to being questioned how they could argue that there was rampant crime when the evidence showed crime was at an all time low, they responded by saying that you can't refuse to act on the problem just because the facts don't show a problem (lol, what?). 


Yea, this is the group you want me to believe regarding immigration policy? Hard pass.

Quote:A study from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine analyzed the fiscal impact of immigration under different scenarios. Under some assumptions, the fiscal burden was $279 billion, but $43 billion in other scenarios.
