That’s actually what has been happening. DC working with MD based groups to move the migrants to MD and out of the city. [/quote]

Yes, our government has been asking for them and getting them, and now we are having trouble paying for them. [/quote]

Here's a good overview from last year

A bit misleading. MoCo is not accepting all transfers from DC.

From that memo:

[quote]Nuclear families with children who entered the U.S. after April 2022 and
can validate their A-number (asylum/alien) are submitted for eligibility determination to the DC
Office of Migrant Services. Single men and women are directly directed to shelters in DC, while
extended families (including, for example, grandparents, aunts, and children over 24 years old)
are referred to the Montgomery County Respite Center to prevent family separation. [/quote]

Also, these folks coming to MoCo have their A number, which I assume, means that they had their cases heard by a judge.[/quote]
You can get into the weeds all you want, but what is undeniably true is that DC is trying to pull a TX and bus the migrants to MD.[/quote]
? I didn't deny that, but it's families and children only, not all.[/quote]
DC are trying to send all. Montgomery County is only agreeing to accept families with children. [/quote]

That is the dumbest policy I have heard of from MOCO (in a long time) has a lot of stupid ideas. Why would we only agree to accept the most costly migrants that are going to be a drain on county finances. Children and elderly people don't work or pay taxes to MOCO. So they won't be self-sufficient and MOCO will also need to provide social services for them. Around 64% of school funding is derived from local tax revenue.  Every migrant child costs the county around $13,300 a year for schooling. [/quote]
DC should deal with its own migrant issue and Moco shouldn’t be agreeing to take any. [/quote]
