Manassas, VA -- Virginia's governor will be hearing from Manassas' elected city officials soon -- or at least reading what they have to say.
At its Monday night meeting, the Manassas City Council approved sending a letter to Gov. Mark R. Warner requesting that he declare a state of emergency on illegal immigration. The City Council tapped Councilman Jackson Miller, who proposed the move, to draft the letter two weeks ago.
"Unchecked illegal immigration on the national level is causing pressing fiscal issues and declining quality of life in our neighborhoods," Miller wrote in a letter to Warner that will be signed by Mayor Douglas Waldron, who was absent from Monday's meeting.
