Culpeper, Virginia -- Mr. Jenkins called for Culpeper's governing bodies - town council and county supervisors - to write a letter to Congress requesting federal assistance on the issue. In the meantime, local officials should devise their own solutions.
"I don't want it (the issue) to go away because we're sending a letter," he said. "The letter is a first step."
Mr. Jenkins made the motion last Thursday before a joint committee meeting of town council and county supervisors. His comments came in light of the national media attention given to Hazelton, Pa. There, local lawmakers made English the city's official language and levied fines against employers and landlords who knowingly aid illegal aliens.
