Fear Seizes Pr. William Immigrants — Legal and Not – Prince William County, Virginia
Tagged: police, prince william county, VirginiaPosted on: July 15th, 2007“Some cowered indoors, wary of police sweeps. Others said theyd leave for another county, or state — anywhere that didnt seem as unwelcome as Prince William suddenly did. One father gave his sons copies of their green cards to carry to summer classes in elementary school, worried theyd be stopped and questioned.
Although the anti-illegal-immigrant measures approved last week in Prince William County were less severe than proposed originally, Hispanic residents there say a clasp of fear has gripped their community in recent days, as anxiety and confusion over the policies ripple through supermarkets, job sites, hair salons and living rooms.”
