NC: Forsyth County wants help with immigration costs
Forsyth County wants help with immigration costs
Associated Press
Tuesday, April 15, 2008
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The Forsyth County Board of Commissioners is asking state lawmakers for a plan to help counties with the costs of illegal immigration.
The vote Monday came less than a month after the board rejected Commissioner Beaufort Bailey's request for a 13-member committee to see how much illegal immigration costs the county.
The Winston-Salem Journal reported Tuesday the resolution acknowledges county officials have little influence and no authority over the laws regarding illegal immigration.
Commission Chairwoman Gloria Whisenhunt says local governments need help with the costs of illegal immigration.
Bailey says he's not sure the resolution will do much.
County budget director Joe Bartel has estimated the county spends about $11 million annually on services for illegal immigrants.
