Thread: PWC, VA: Let the feds get the bill

Let the feds get the bill

(Manassas Journal Messenger Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Aug. 10--

It turns out that the cost of jailing criminal illegal immigrants in the Prince William-Manassas regional jail is more than expected. And now, jail officials are asking the Prince William Board of County Supervisors for more money.

However, in a refreshing change of pace, the money officials are asking for wouldn't actually come from county taxpayers. They are asking for the use of $779,175 in federal funds to balance their budget.

The money was actually earned by the county from the federal government, paying for the ICE inmates being held in the jail system.

It is a time of financial difficulty for many jurisdictions, including Prince William County. We question the wisdom of using already thinly-stretched county dollars to fund some of the county's anti-illegal

immigration measures, but we are encouraged when we see one of the county's measures being paid for responsibly and without burden to the county taxpayers.

It is a good idea to take criminal illegal immigrants off the streets and ultimately deport them. We support the jail's efforts to identify those who come into its system and get them out. We hope they can continue to do so with the help of ICE and federal government dollars.

Responsible illegal immigration policies will sway the opinions of the public better than knee-jerk reactions. And the 287(g) agreement between ICE and the jail is one of the better policies that have come out of this illegal immigration fight. We are glad it can continue without extra cost to the county.

BEFORE HOSPITAL BILLS ARE PAID FOR ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIENS;

THE JAILS AND POLICE ARE NEEDING TO BE PAID FIRST.

THE HOSPITALS SHOULD BE CALLING THE POLICE WHEN THEY GET ILLEGALS IN THE HOSPITALS

IN OTHER WORDS LET THE HOSPITALS GO UNDER IF THEY DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW THE LAWS OF THE COUNTRY.

THE DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS DON'T GET A FREE PASS ON ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN, EITHER.

IT IS TAXPAYER DOLLARS THEY ARE USING ON ILLEGALS

NO TO MEDICAL CARE FOR 40 MILLION ILLEGALS PAY THE POLICE FIRST

Idea....why can't we fine the employers of them and then use the fine money to help pay for their jail time....The employers are the contributors to the problem
