Fairfax GOP Blasts Calls for Illegal Alien Defense Fund

Fairfax GOP Chairman Tim Hannigan is blasting calls for the Board of Supervisors to fund the legal bills of the county’s illegal aliens.

“It’s bad enough that Fairfax County has withdrawn from its agreement with ICE,” Mr. Hannigan said this morning. “Now Fairfax Democrats want us all to foot the legal bills of those who flout our nation’s immigration laws.”

Mr. Hannigan argues that government should focus on the needs of law-abiding residents, including legal immigrants who are often victimized by illegal aliens. “Every dollar spent on lawyers for illegals is one less dollar for police, schools, roads, or parks,” he noted. “Too many board members seem to have forgotten the basics of county government.”
