"I wouldn't have gone for it a year ago," Bethesda resident Judy Campbell said recently, leaving a natural food co-op in Takoma Park with soy milk and a slice of vegan double-chocolate fudge cake. "Until this series of violent crimes, it wasn't on my radar screen."
Campbell, a 50-year-old nurse, is an avowed liberal. She supports the chief's efforts, in part because the emerging proposal is not as far-reaching as policies that have been enacted in Prince William and Frederick counties.
Mariana Cordier, who grew up in the county and is a past president of the Maryland Hispanic Bar Association, said residents are increasingly linking crime to illegal immigration.
"It's been slow to come to Montgomery County," she said of that perception, "but it has arrived."
It is more likely that they (like the rest of this country) are experiencing the variety and abundancy of crimes commited by illegal aliens as opposed to simply "linking" it to illegal immigration.

Opponents hope to persuade him to reject the idea, which they say would result in racial or ethnic profiling that could ensnare innocent people. State Del. Ana Sol Gutierrez (D-Montgomery) and other opponents said residents would reject the proposal if they understood its consequences more fully.
More ethnocentric dribble courtesy of those in denial of the massive number of heinous crimes perpetrated by those of their raza, primarily from SOB.
Chuck Short, an aide to Leggett, said some officials think that failure to address the concerns over illegal immigration now could lead to pressure later for more aggressive policies, such as cutting social services for illegal immigrants.
The pro illegal alien enablers are starting to see the writing on the wall (shifting public opinion) and are trying to head off the impending tsunami---------rigorous enforcement of immigration law up and including profiling.
