PRINCE WILLIAM, Virginia -- Virginia Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling (R) stopped in Prince William County last week to discuss his "100 Ideas for Virginia" initiative with the chamber of commerce, but the conversation quickly turned to the county's biggest gripe: illegal immigration.
During the one-hour forum, audience members, who had a chance to present ideas on any subject related to the direction of the state, spent most of the time talking about the impact of illegal immigrants on their community.
"Don't underestimate Prince William County. We've have just begun on this illegal immigration issue," said Lois Battistoni, a 73-year-old retiree and resident of Lake Ridge to nods among dozens of business leaders and residents at the town hall meeting.
