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

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

Here's a good overview from last year

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

From that memo:

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.

Also, these folks coming to MoCo have their A number, which I assume, means that they had their cases heard by a judge.

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.

100% sincere, not a troll. I live in Montgomery myself (Chevy Chase View, specifically) and I know that many of my immediate neighbors and most people in the county support immigrants and hate what TX and FL is doing to them. So we need to lobby those officials in TX and FL to send them here, where they receive the help they need.

Most people in the County supporting immigrants does not mean that we want to pay yet higher taxes for even more social services for immigrants. Look, certain schools in MoCo are now largely focused on bringing up the bottom (typically the immigrants from Central America, many who are illiterate in their native tongues). I moved to MoCo for the schools, yet ended up having to pay for private, at extreme cost, to simply insure that my kids got some teacher attention.

Speak for yourself. I would happily pay higher taxes for programs that brought more migrants here as took care of them. And I support raising your taxes too, because I and those who care about these people shouldn’t have to do it alone. You can afford to chip in some more, too.

With just what you’re spending on a private each year ((to keep your precious little darlings away from brown children)) you could help dozens of people from other countries who came here with nothing. That’s how much your taxes should be raised - by whatever you’re paying in tuition each year. You can clearly afford it.

You are conveniently ignoring the fact this group includes many Illegal immigrants that are using our tax money to educate their kids and worsening school overcrowding.

MCPS teacher here - I teach English to English learners. You live where recent immigrants do not. If you lived in east county, or perhaps, Gaithersburg or Rockville, you would see that there are a lot of immigrants in Montgomery County.

Why don't you drive over to University Blvd. and go grocery shopping one day? That would be a start to seeing how people who are not similar to you live.

Then county council and Elrich need to get off their asses and start doing more for these migrants. We can’t really expect any more to want to come here if we aren’t doing a good job of helping those already here.

Get off your fat ass and use Google if you actually care so strongly.

I actually don’t care if you give immigrants work visas and have them come here. Same as towns in Kansas and South Dakota who actually have asked Texas to send them there because they need the labor.

That's interesting. If that's true, and TX isn't doing so, then clearly this is just about political optics rather than those states actually having issues providing services.

But, FL also needs labor, specifically construction labor. I guess Floridians will just have to wait for their roof to get fixed as we head into hurricane season.

https://baynews9.com/fl/tampa/news/2024/03/29/construction-job-shortage

But, then FL is not very construction worker friendly. Who would want to work in these conditions? No wonder, there's a labor shortage there.

https://www.constructiondive.com/news/florida-construction-workers-say-theyre-denied-water-rest-shade/717487/

And they seem to have shot themselves in the foot with their crackdown on illegal immigration.

Yeah, it's true:
