Today’s Potomac News reports that, as expected, the county services that will be denied to illegal immigrants don’t add up to much at all:
The resolution that Prince William Board of County Supervisors passed in October denies eight county services to illegal immigrants.
The services cost the county a total of $8.4 million last fiscal year and served 3,374 people, according to the county public information office.
It’s not clear if any illegal immigrants used any of the services that include in-home medical services for elderly and disabled illegal immigrants; in-home services for aging illegal immigrants, which may include safety assessments of dwellings; adult identification services, which include fingerprinting for the elderly and disabled who may wander away from home; and an elderly disabled tax relief program, tax exemptions for home renovations, rental and mortgage assistance, substance abuse programs for jail inmates and a substance abuse outreach program for juveniles.
In other words, more show than substance.
