Independent Study Supports Correlation Between Departure Of Illegal Immigrants And Reduced Crime
Prince William County Board of Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart says that an independent study conducted last year by researchers from the University of Virginia verified that the county’s drop in violent crime was a direct result of a crack down on illegal immigrants. In 2008, Prince William County, led by Stewart, became one of the first local jurisdictions in the country to enact local immigration laws. A resolution the county passed requires all police officers to check the immigration status of anyone they arrest. (:27)
