I think you miss read me, I said *provided* that it's a level playing field, it's up to the counties in question to insure that it does.

Is it? Now how many whites in either Manassas (Prince William Country) or Leesburg (Loudon County) when stopped by police are going be required to show that they are in the country legally? How many latinos, people from the middle east, or India or even Italy are going to be required to show their immigration papers? Now tell me that there is no racism evident here. As far as I can see its going to be an excuse for racial profiling. And for the record I live in Manassas Virginia - in Prince William County. > >I don't buy into "oh it's so difficult and expensive to get into the US" >it's not.
