In Alexandria, the mayor calls illegal immigrants “international citizens”. Gee, he sure is generous with my tax money.
Sounds like a good way for school districts to save money on their budgets.
All diplomats and consular officers who work for other countries' embassies, I suppose.
Well those counties know how to stop the spending.
Fairfax should be celebrating its additional diversity instead of whining about the additional cost.
((not bad, eh? I should post on DUmmieland))
This is great news. It shows that enforcement will fix the problem.
The counties (Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria) toward which the illegals are now moving are those that have set themselves up as sanctuary cities and counties. That sounds compassionate, but in reality they never welcomed the illegals. Instead, they have “gentrified” their properties, changing former slums and lower-class housing into developments where no illegal or poor could afford to live. That forced the illegals into the further suburbs where they could afford a home with lower prices and overcrowded residents. So their sanctuary policies meant nothing, because illegals couldn’t afford to live there, or go to their schools.
Now the chickens are coming home to roost. As outer communities like Prince William county and Herndon town start enforcing the law, the illegals are forced into the inner suburbs. Fairfax is already forecasting massive debt in the coming years, and now they will inherit thousands of more illegals’ students to school at $11,000 a head. Just 10,000 new illegals’ students will increase their budget (and debt) $110,000,000!
Let’s see how compassionate they are next year. It will be interesting to watch them choke on their liberal politics.
Cheap labor isn’t cheap.
Don’t want to pay for those kids in your district? Enact a similar illegal imigrant policy and they’ll go someplace else. And probably take a few more with them, too.
Ping!
