Welcome

Help Save Hampton Roads is a grassroots organization dedicated to helping preserve our communities and to protect them from the negative effects related to the presence of illegal aliens. Help Save Hampton Roads believes that illegal immigration is not a federal government issue alone. Much can be done at the local and state levels including enforcement of current laws and regulations to alleviate the many problems caused by the growing number of illegal aliens in Hampton Roads.

The growing immigration crisis has prompted an increasing number of local governments throughout Virginia to take action to defend their communities. We recognize the considerable dangers that the presence of illegal aliens within our communities pose and agree that more effective measures are required ensuring the neighborhoods of Hampton Roads remain safe, secure and prosperous for legal residents, legitimate businesses and the American worker.

Help Save Hampton Roads fosters public awareness. We encourage all concerned citizens to pursue effective legislative action in our city councils, in the General Assembly and with the Governor of Virginia. We request that our law makers and the governing powers that be enforce the laws that already exist on the books.

We support the following initiatives, which need to be embraced on a bipartisan basis:

State Level

• Enforce a statewide ban on the use of illegal alien workers by licensed Virginia businesses (“The right of state and local governments to sanction business entities that employ unauthorized alien workers, by suspending their business licenses, has received two major endorsements from federal courts. These recent decisions in Missouri & Arizona confirm important legal doctrines that favor state and local enforcement in employment, contracting, public services, and related areas” ~ Immigration Reform Law Institute).
• Bar state and local contracts to firms found to employ illegal aliens and prohibiting illegal aliens from receiving public benefits.
  
• Mandate that the Governor shall enter into a memorandum of understanding with the Department of Homeland Security for a cooperative agreement or 287(g) agreement.
  
• Prohibit in-state tuition for illegal aliens.
  
• Prohibit any form of state funding to Virginia counties, cities or town providing sanctuary policies to illegal aliens.
