PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, VA (KOLD) - For the last three years, a county in Virginia has remained under the radar in the immigration debate even though it has a law almost identical to Arizona's immigration law.
The ordinance in Prince William County was passed in 2007. It initially required police to check the status of detainees they suspected of being undocumented immigrants but one year later it was revised.
Officers now question all criminal suspects about their immigration status once an arrest is made.
In 2008, the University of Virginia conducted a survey to see what effects, if any, the Prince William County law had. It concluded initial fears about racial profiling did not happen.
It also show that schools saw a drop in English as a second language enrollment. There was also a drop in uninsured mothers giving birth and individuals turned over to immigration and customs enforcement.

that's how that motherfucker Rahm Emanuel got that $320K Freddie Mac job!
didn't Rahm Israel Emanuel work at Freddie Mac?
Emanuel was named to the Board of Directors of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
(Freddie Mac) by President Bill Clinton in 2000. His position earned him at least $320,000,
including later stock sales.[31][32] He was not assigned to any of the board's working
committees, and the Board met no more than six times per year.[32]
During his time on the board, Freddie Mac was plagued with scandals involving campaign
contributions and accounting irregularities.[32][33] The Obama Administration rejected
a request under the Freedom of Information Act to review Freddie Mac board minutes and
correspondence during Emanuel's time as a director.[32]
The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) later accused the board
of having "failed in its duty to follow up on matters brought to its attention."
Emanuel resigned from the board in 2001 when he ran for Congress.[34]
