“Roughly 2,000 protestors swamped the McCoart Building in Woodbridge on Tuesday, where the Prince William Board of County Supervisors was preparing to take action on illegal immigration.

The crowd, made up predominately of Latinos opposed to the resolution, poured across the lawn, wearing green t-shirts proclaiming “Not with my taxes. Not in my name. Rescind the resolution.”

On the other side of the parking lot, 100 or so crackdown supporters glared over at them and at times, the two groups had verbal clashes.
“Go back where you came from! Get out of here!” a man yelled at a Latino woman as she passed.”*
