I had the pleasure, and displeasure, yesterday of attending the hearing at which the Prince William County (Virginia) Board of Supervisors passed one of the most draconian, anti-immigrant pieces of legislation on the books to date in the United States. The pleasure lay in seeing people stand up for their humanity, and what is right. The displeasure lay in seeing the anti-immigrant sentiment, whipped up by the powerful elite, exert its influence on the Board of Supervisors.
