County: No Figure for Cost of Services For Illegal Immigrants
Fairfax County officials can't put a dollar amount on the amount of money the local governement spends on services used by illegal immigrants they say, partly because many of those services are "universal access;"required by federal law to be open to anyone, regardless of immigration status.The officials also cite the difficulty of counting how many undocumented immigrants live in here. This is in today's Metro section.

It is disgraceful for the County to not let the citizens know the facts. Saying that it does not have any count of illegal aliens in the county amounts to breach of faith. The Chairman board of supervisors has the responsibility to make sure that the county upholds the rule of law and that it is preventing illegal spending. Then how does a Fairfax county resident is sure that the tax payer money is spent for legal residents of Fairfax. Is Fairfax county a sanctuary county ?
