PRINCE WILLIAM, Virginia -- An upcoming state review of Prince William County’s illegal-immigrant crackdown is generating heat well before it begins, with County Chairman Corey Stewart’s charge that its leader should be disqualified over accusations she once hired an illegal immigrant.
Linda Chavez, whose nomination to serve in President Bush’s Cabinet in 2001 failed when reports surfaced she had employed an illegal immigrant, now chairs the Virginia State Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.
The panel will meet at the county headquarters in Woodbridge Dec. 14 to review claims that the county’s policy amounts to discrimination against minority residents.
