Tagged: VirginiaPosted on: November 11th, 2007
The polls had been closed and his re-election secured for hours late Tuesday, but Corey Stewart, the chairman of the county Board of Supervisors, was still in fighting form.
“We are never going to stop defending our communities from the effects of illegal immigration. Ever!” Stewart yelled into a microphone at the local Republican Party’s post-election reception. “This community strongly supported this crackdown on illegal immigration and tonight laid to rest any other idea.”
Democrats this week celebrated a resurgence in the Virginia General Assembly and claimed victories for moderation in the emotionally charged debate over illegal immigration.”*
