I am a Prince William County resident, tax-payer, and voter. I am extremely concerned about today's vote at the BOCS meeting.
I am concerned about my taxes.
I am concerned about unfunded obligations.
I am concerned about racial profiling.
I am concerned that we are cutting off our county's opportunities for reasonable sustainable growth.
Frankly, I see this whole "illegal immigration" issue as giant publicity stunt by certain members of the board for their political campaigns. I am watching how you vote and will vote and contribute accordingly.
Please have compassion for fellow human beings, who due to unfortunate accident of location of birth have not been given the same chances to survive as you and me. Yes they have broken the laws to come to our great country to struggle to survive, and frankly, if we were in their shoes we would too. Some laws need to be revised.
Think about it - slavery was once legal, as was wife-beating. Those laws were revised. Please be rational today, and consider the impact your vote will have on human lives and on taxpayers in the county.
Sincerely,
Scott Nolan
