And the hit and run culture in silver spring and Georgia Ave.
so sick of seeing some beaten up car rear end someone and all 4-5 ppl run out and ever return. Can’t prove who was driving - hahaha- just like in Guatemala. You literally run and desert your car.

I live in Silver Spring, off of Georgia and this is so true.

I’ve lived in Silver Spring off of Georgia Ave my entire life and have literally never witnessed such a thing. Do you have any evidence or stats?

Think there’s a connection?

You mean unskilled, uneducated, illiterate illegal aliens from Central America?

I thought they all went to sanctuary city MoCo and CASA de Maryland for their welcome package, free housing and stuff. Send them there, not WDC.

They are not getting "free housing and stuff."

Stuff- yes - tons of new and used welcome packages from big NGOs and church groups here

Housing - kind of- they just stuff in a house with 3+ “cousins” per room and use one of the pick up trucks parked on the lawn.

Health care- just show up at any ER room or HOly cross hospital, they have low prices and fantastic financing plans

Anchor baby - get them to the silver spring SSA office asap for their benefits, snap, welfare. No reported income means mo benies.

Status- once you say your cousin was killed and the gang is after you too, you get a 3-5 year USA Asylum Pending Case Welcome Package. You get a work ID - put whatever name or birthday on it, welfare benefits, and leave a great address where ICE can send you your court date in a few years. You can show up or not; most don’t.
Lastly, make sure once your anchor baby is age 18 they quickly sponsor you for a green card- only if you didn’t already marry someone with one or citizenship.

Voila!

Pretty much. Pretty much.

agree. We live on seminary, south of the beltway. Tons of bad drivers ramming other cars and running off. Likely because culturally that’s what you do in Central America, but may also bc the car is uninsured and they are undocumented.

Go talk to any police station or do some MoCo jury duty.

Yep. These homes have taken over our neighborhood in Montgomery County. What used to be a solidly middle class neighborhood is now filled with multi-family housing that is not up to code and not being rented out legally. So, a home that might have had one family in it, with 2 or 3 kids, now has 7 kids. And, multiple work vans and pick up trucks parked on the lawn. Definitely has resulted in changes in our neighborhood and others around the county in Wheaton, Silver Spring, Germantown, Gaithersburg, Aspen Hill, even up in Olney.

If you enter the US without immigration authorization, you don’t qualify for any public benefits like SNAP or cash assistance, or even a work permit, until at least 6 months have passed from the time you have submitted a l-589 form with the court (asylum application)— which is not an easy thing to do unless a lawyer helps you. Just “asking for asylum” doesn’t count.

Any help these families receive is from volunteers or local groups.

There’s is no “Asylum pending welcome package”

Well the Days Inn and Fairfield Inn on NY Ave is full of recent immigrants. Those places are DC’s go-to shelters for the homeless. DC needs to put them on biases to disperse them throughout the DMV. Send them to Fairfax, PG, Arlington, Herndon, HOCO, etc. share the burden with the respective DCUM community.

Why send them to DC and make them the burden of DC residents and taxpayers?

It's a federal issue, which takes action by Congress to do anything about it.

Don't you know that DC residents and taxpayers have no representation and no vote in Congress?

What’s the punishment? Welcoming hard working people who want to be here into our community.

Being a sanctuary city comes with responsibilities.

All that "sanctuary city" means is that the city does not enforce federal laws. And, it's not their job to enforce federal laws.

And that comes with responsibilities. I don’t get why you’re so opposed to immigrants.

By "responsibilities" you mean you feel DC should be punished - for not doing something that is not their job, but the federal government's job to do, and for which DC receives no federal dollars to do. And again, DC has no say in immigrant policy. We don't have a vote. If you want federal action on this, you need to send them to places that DO have a vote.

Were you not able to vote in the most recent presidential election?

They need to bring civics back to middle and high school. You seem slow if you don’t know the basic between creating laws.

With that said, I do like some of the proposals in the new Republican Congress immigration bill, but it fails to address DACA. As such, it’s dead on arrival. And that’s if and only if they can get the southern rural congressmen to sign on. It seems they don’t like the e-verify requirement in the bill because they need migrants out in the fields picking crops. E-verify is a non-starter for that group of republicans.

MS-13 is Domestic.

Well now they are some who are home grown. But the original MS-13 hailed from El Salvador.

Um, yea they are. They can and many receive Medicaid, free breakfast and lunch, emergency disaster relief assistance, homeless sheltering, free schooling, free mental health counseling, WIC, soup kitchens, substance abuse assistance, and more.

Yeah, they are.

DC is not MoCo or CASA and temporary shelter is not “free housing” and a non profit helping people is more American than putting people in jail for immigrating.

If they are not paying for this housing, whether temporary or permanent, it is free to them but not to thee. And once you give people this free temporary housing it becomes damn near permanent because you can’t get them out.

They are a burden to taxpayers already. Send them directly to DC, and blue states. You voted to have your tax dollars pay for this, and agreed to take on the burden with your vote for Biden.

Immigrants- whether “legal” or “illegal”- pay taxes too.

Not nearly enough. So what if they pay 5% sales tax. They are not paying income tax. The DCUM crowd that likes these low wage earners pay cash and no 1099 at tax time.

Won’t fly in Virginia. We’re too busy housing, schooling, and feeding the Afghan refugees.

Are the DC homeless afforded the same opportunity.... hotel housing?

Don't be silly. They prefer to live in tents at Union Station and under bridges.
