Corey Stewart, Chairman of the Prince William County Board of supervisors grabbed national headlines recently when he publicly dared the federal government to sue Virginia over its immigration statutes. He also has launched a new petition drive called the Rule of Law Campaign with the goal of spreading the tough crackdown on immigration that Prince William County enacted years ago, to the entire Commonwealth of Virginia.
From FoxNews.com:
A Virginia lawmaker looking to enact an immigration law similar to Arizona’s is challenging the Obama administration to come at his state with a lawsuit, too, saying he hopes the Justice Department has “so many targets” they can’t focus.
Prince William Board of County Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart told The Washington Post that the Obama administration’s lawsuit against Arizona will probably fall flat. He claimed Arizona is on “firm footing” and encouraged other jurisdictions to follow Arizona’s lead.
“I hope the Justice Department sues Virginia, as well,” he told the Post. “I hope they have so many targets that they are unable to focus on Arizona.”
