Members of the county board in Arlington, Virginia have voted to give $2,000 in taxpayer dollars to illegals who have been detained by ICE.
Is this even legal? And why would taxpayers put up with it? Can anyone imagine another country in the world where this would even happen?
People who were arrested for being in the country illegally are being rewarded with cash that has been taken from citizens as taxes. Does anyone believe this is what the founders had in mind?

Virginia County Board Votes to Pay $2,000 to Families of Illegal Migrants Arrested by ICE
The Arlington County Board has voted to pay $2,000 in tax money to the families of illegal migrants who are arrested by immigration enforcement officers.
The leaders of the Virginia county created a $50,000 fund of tax dollars to dole out to family members for “basic needs” such as housing, food, and utilities.
“We stand with our immigrant families, and we will not stop doing so,” Board Chair Matt de Ferranti said after the unanimous vote, according to ARLNow. “We are valuing the families of those that have been displaced and removed.”
“This investment in our families is about the urgency we have seen in our community in the last month,” de Ferranti added. “And we are going to respond with care. and we are going to respond proudly. That’s what this $50,000 is toward with Thrive.”
The board also voted not to require family members to prove that their detained wage earner was legally allowed to work in the U.S.
The government funds will be distributed by left-wing organization Arlington Thrive, an NGO funded by the likes of Washington Forest Foundation, the Kaiser Foundation, and the United Way, among others.
