Virginia legislature proposes internment camps... [View All]

the demogogues, racists, and xenophobes entrenched in the Virginia legislature have struck again. They are truly a fun bunch. Thank GOD we have Democratic governor here, that's all I've got say.



RICHMOND, Sept. 25 -- Virginia officials said Tuesday that they are considering a proposal to build a 1,000-bed detention center where illegal immigrants arrested for certain crimes could be held until federal officials deport them.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials said Tuesday night that such a center would be the country's first state-run facility built to hold only illegal immigrants accused of crimes. Currently, illegal immigrants who are arrested are held in local jails, federal facilities and private prisons
