A group that opposes Prince William County (web|news) 's illegal-immigration policies is urging companies to stay away from the county.
Alexandria (web|news) -based Tenants and Workers United says it distributed hundreds of leaflets Thursday to those on a commercial real estate bus tour of the region's office parks and industrial areas.
The warning was directed at high-tech and biotech companies, which Prince William officials have been trying to lure to Innovation Technology Park and other areas.
The flyer alleged that Prince William's policies have "helped to create a hostile environment for all who 'look' like immigrants." And it said that foreign-born workers probably would not want to live in such an area.
