Good News! But Not For Illegals

Without preamble, the Washington Times brings you

A federal judge yesterday threw out a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Prince William County’s [Va.] new ordinance denying services to illegal aliens.

Judge James C. Cacheris said during a brief hearing at U.S. District Court in Alexandria that the plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge the resolution passed earlier this year by the Prince William Board of County Supervisors.

Judge Cacheris said he will issue a written ruling at a later time detailing his decision.

The Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund filed the lawsuit last month on behalf of plaintiffs who included illegal aliens and the Woodbridge Workers Committee, an organization of day laborers in Prince William County.

But county attorneys argued that the plaintiffs could not demonstrate they had suffered any harm under the measures, which have not been fully implemented.

“This is a big win,” said Corey Stewart, chairman of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors. “This is the best shot that some of the best litigators in the country can throw at our resolution against illegal immigration. I think that is very telling.”

Excellent! They are here illegally, and do not deserve what they want. Granted, I think that there need to be laws that slap companies who hire illegals silly, since, if the penalties were ginormous, they would not hire illegals, so most would not come here illegally nor overstay their visas. Couple that with a good and heavily monitored migrant worker program, and a good deal of the problem would be solved. That would decrease the amount of illegals crossing the border and overstaying their visas who, let’s face it, are mostly not serious criminals, allowing law enforcement agencies to concentrate on those who are serious criminals, such as members of MS-13.
