The Washington Post reports on the first statistical evidence of migration from Prince William County following its crackdown on illegal immigration.
Prince William County has seen a decrease of 759 students in its ESOL programs, with about 623 heading to Fairfax. Others have headed to Loudoun County, Alexandria and Arlington.
Under a resolution passed by the county Board of Supervisors, Prince William began denying some services illegal immigrants and requiring police to check the immigration status of crime suspects they think might be in the U.S. illegally.
