[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This month Mayor Bowser is going to El Salvador.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/where-is-bowser-activists-demand-action-from-bowser-after-recent-ice-raids/2018/08/06/2a1c225e-99bf-11e8-843b-36e177f3081c_story.html?utm_term=.2d58590b4534

DC has allocated $900,000 grant money for legal defense of illegal immigrants.  https://mayor.dc.gov/release/mayor-bowser-announces-900000-available-fy-2019-immigrant-justice-legal-services-grant

That's $900,000 that could go elsewhere-DCPS, grants for financial aid for US citizens-DC residents.  Cost of the junket?[/quote]

If you read the release it will fund legal services for all immigrants. Many legal immigrants need legal services.  Some legal immigrants even  need help on immigration issues. All immigrants should, IMO, have access to legal services.   How can one get justice in courts or in admin proceedings without a lawyer?

And of course the issue of legal services has nothing to do with the Mayor's travels. [/quote]
