一名弗吉尼亚州共和党领导人反对该县一项新计划,该计划将使用纳税人资金,为那些主要收入者被联邦移民当局拘留或递解出境的非法移民家庭提供资助。
与华盛顿特区隔波托马克河相望的阿灵顿县于9月2日批准了一项计划,为这项社会安全网项目拨款5万美元。
根据该项目条款,资金将拨付给非营利组织“阿灵顿振兴”,由该组织向家庭发放最高2000美元,用于覆盖基本生活开支。
“这与特朗普政府的政策背道而驰,也损害了阿灵顿县纳税人的利益,该县数万名保守派和共和党人都反对这项政策,”阿灵顿县共和党主席马修·赫特对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。

赫特将这笔资金称为“ slush基金”,称其旨在进一步反对特朗普政府对非法移民的打击行动。他指出,由于“阿灵顿振兴”是一家非营利组织,可免于适用于政府机构的透明度规定。
县委员会在一次特别会议上对该项目表示支持,以4票赞成、1人缺席的结果通过了该计划。

“我们与移民家庭站在一起,并且不会停止这么做,”县委员会主席马特·德费兰蒂表示。“我们重视那些流离失所和被驱逐者的家庭。”
此举出台前,执法部门刚刚在华盛顿特区和弗吉尼亚州周边地区开展了为期两周的行动,逮捕了超过1300名非法移民。

今年1月,作为该县反对移民执法举措的一部分,德费兰蒂敦促居民向县当局举报美国移民和海关执法局官员的行踪。
赫特表示,多年来,阿灵顿县以及北弗吉尼亚州其他县一直试图通过各类庇护政策,破坏特朗普政府打击非法移民的努力。

“阿灵顿县、费尔法克斯县以及北弗吉尼亚州其他县完全由极左翼活动人士掌控,他们乐见这类项目,”他说。“自特朗普总统首届政府以来,他们多年来一直试图成为对抗‘那个橙衣男人’的第一道防线。”
“因此,如果华盛顿出现共和党支持的举措,阿灵顿县和费尔法克斯县的县委员会就会反其道而行之。”
与此同时,赫特指出,县领导人一直在推动选民支持关键服务的债券提案,这些提案由额外税收承担费用。

“每一个选举周期,阿灵顿县委员会都会在选票上提出数亿美元的债券提案,用于基本服务——学校改造、道路建设以及他们认为必要的其他项目,”他说。
“这向选民传递的信息是,他们并未优先推进这些项目——那些他们通过发债筹集资金的项目,反而优先推进这类极左翼项目,将其作为针对非法移民的 slush基金。”

A Virginia GOP leader is pushing back against a new county program to provide taxpayer-funded grants to the families of illegal immigrants whose primary wage earner was detained or deported by federal immigration authorities.
Arlington County, which sits across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., endorsed a plan on Sept. 2 to appropriate $50,000 for the social safety net program.
Under the terms of the project, the funds would be given to the nonprofit Arlington Thrive, which would provide up to $2,000 to the families to cover basic needs.
“This flies in the face of the Trump administration policy, and it is a detriment to taxpayers of Arlington, tens of thousands of whom are conservative and Republican and oppose this policy,” Matthew Hurtt, chairman of the Arlington County GOP, told Fox News Digital.

Hurtt described the money as a “slush fund” designed to further oppose the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration. He noted that since Arlington Thrive is a nonprofit, it is exempt from transparency protocols that normally apply to government agencies.
The County Board praised the program at a special meeting, where it voted 4-0 with one member absent.

“We stand with our immigrant families, and we will not stop doing so,” Board Chair Matt de Ferranti said. “We are valuing the families of those that have been displaced and removed.”
The move follows a recent law enforcement operation in which more than 1,300 illegal immigrants were arrested over a two-week period in the Washington, D.C., and Virginia area.

In January, as part of the county’s opposition to immigration enforcement, de Ferranti urged residents to report sightings of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to county authorities.
Arlington County, as well as other counties in Northern Virginia, have for years tried to subvert the Trump administration’s efforts to fight illegal immigration through various sanctuary policies, Hurtt said.

“Arlington County, Fairfax County and other Northern Virginia counties are completely run by far-left activists who love this kind of program,” he said. “They have, for years, since President Trump’s first administration, sought to be the first line of defense against the orange man.
“So, if something happens in Washington that is supported by Republicans, the county board in Arlington and Fairfax does exactly the opposite.”
Meanwhile, Hurtt said, county leaders have pushed for voters to support bond measures for critical services, which are covered by additional taxes.

“Every single election cycle, the Arlington County board puts hundreds of millions of dollars on the ballot in the form of bond issues for basic services — school improvements, road construction and other projects that they deem necessary,” he said.
“What that tells voters is that they aren’t prioritizing those projects, projects that they bond out and borrow dollar after dollar, but they’re prioritizing these far-left projects like a slush fund for illegal aliens.”
