The city of Alexandria, Va., is expected to pass a resolution tonight renewing its commitment to extend public services to illegal aliens.
"We are reaffirming and recommitting our services and outreach to international citizens," Mayor William D. Euille, a Democrat, said yesterday.
The seven-member City Council will vote on a two-page resolution that outlines Alexandria's intent to comply with state and federal immigration laws but not question the immigration status of people seeking public services.
Mr. Euille said that the resolution should pass unanimously but that Alexandria has no figures on the cost of providing services to illegal aliens.
"We haven't calculated that, and we probably won't calculate that," he said. "We have money designated for human services, but it's not broken down by race."
Alexandria must provide every resident with schooling, public health care and police protection. However, the city can extend such services as rental and burial assistance, job placement and emergency Medicaid without mandatory proof of legal residence, according to a memorandum to the resolution.

We conservatives need to pick a good sized liberal city (San Francisco comes to mind as a santuary city) and all get together and formulate a plan complete with advertizing and marketing materials, billboards, newspaper, radio and television ads that encourage illegals to flock by the hundreds of thousands to this “targeted city” that will gratefully provide for their welfare. By bankrupting this “targeted city”, it would prove to the rest of the country what uncontrolled immigraton, anarchy and liberalism can do to this country. Sounds like a damn good idea to me.
The fact Moran’s still in Congress tells me everything I need to know about that neck of the woods.
“Let’s just see how the good folks of Alexandria feel about paying exorbitant taxes to pay for ever increasing illegals and their benefits and medical bills all the while illegals break their laws”
They will rue the day!!
I guess they listened to the Maryland legislator who , a few days ago, said that “Virginians were not enlightened” when it came to spending tax payer money on illegals. What a bunch of idiots these liberals are....actually they know exactly what they are doing...going for the vote!

A wise man once said “All things in time” - eventually this will all play out and we’ll know who is more enlightened.
Twenty years from now, which will be the better place to live:
a. the People’s Republic of Maryland that treats illegals like rock stars with taxpayer-sponsored swag.
-or-
b. the good folks in Prince William county that feel US citizenship still means something.
