Prince William, at present is my home county. If the feds won't, here is one way to take the matter up county by county and state by state, until Congress and the President get the message.

Prince William County [Va.] supervisors have taken immigration enforcement into their own hands — an encouraging example for other jurisdictions that want to crack down on the influx of illegal aliens into their communities.
"I'm extremely excited about what Prince William County has done, and I certainly hope that kind of fans the fire of other municipalities across the state — including Culpeper," said Culpeper Town Council member F. Steve Jenkins.
Culpeper County is one locality that appears to be taking Prince William County's lead on addressing the cost of illegal aliens.
Prince William County supervisors Tuesday voted unanimously to require police officers to ask about immigration status in all arrests if there is probable cause to believe that a suspect has violated federal immigration law. Supervisors also voted to require county staff to verify a person's legal status before providing certain public services.
A report in January found Prince William spends at least $3 million on services to illegal aliens — a figure county officials think is an underestimate because it lacks data from public schools and the health department, which along with many other public agencies are not required by federal or state law to verify a person's legal status before providing services.
