Title: Evaluation Study of Prince William County's Illegal Immigration Enforcement Policy: Final Report

Summary: This study found that Prince William County's immigration policy has cut the number of illegal immigrants and the rates of some crimes have fallen since the policy was implemented. The study estimates that the number of illegal immigrants in the county dropped by between 2,000 and 6,000 people from 2006 to 2008. The study also found that the policy created an ethnic divide in perceptions of the county, but that has been largely repaired. The study found that approximately 7,400 people who may have been in the country illegally have left Prince William County since 2007. 2,400 illegal immigrants were turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement during the study. The policy aimed to reduce the number of illegal immigrants, cut crime, reduce overcrowded housing problems and neighborhood nuisances and save the county money by delivering fewer services to illegal immigrants. The study concludes that while reports of some types of crime, such as hit-and-run accidents and aggravated assaults, fell after implementation of the policy, it did not affect crime overall and some of the neighborhood problems, such as overcrowded housing, were lessened in some areas.
