Shouldn’t we be taking care of our own citizens before we start funding illegal aliens? Shameful is the only way to describe Fairfax County Supervisor John Foust’s priority to spend $200,000 of taxpayer money to support illegal alien legal fees. It was painfully clear to any reasonable person at the budget hearings that there are greater priorities. The requests that desperately needed that same $200,000 ranged from housing for the homeless, security for our school children, services for the disabled, mental health care, and hundreds more requests. However, John Foust decided his priority was approving taxpayer money to provide lawyers for illegal aliens to fight deportation. John Foust thinks so little of citizens he made sure that this money is not available by legal citizens. If Foust wants to fund legal defense for illegal aliens, he and the other Supervisors who approved this funding should be digging into their own pockets.
