Chesterfield: The $2M+ Cost Of Illegal Aliens
By Greg L | 17 August 2007 | Illegal Aliens, Virginia Politics | 12 Comments
Chesterfield County has also been considering adopting a resolution similar to the one passed by Prince William County last month, and today a report on the burden illegal aliens place on that county has been released, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch. The county estimates that the cost incurred by the courts, police and social services amounts to $1.35 million in fiscal 2006, and additionally illegal aliens have failed to pay $409,000 in emergency room charges and left $337,840 in unpaid traffic fines. The study did not attempt to quantify the costs incurred by the public school system, which would be substantial.
Since Ricardo Juarez and his Mexicanos Sin Fronteras are headed that way to protest, perhaps the Chesterfield taxpayers can take that opportunity to present him with a bill, since he seems to be the self-proclaimed representative of the illegal aliens in Virginia now. Had they filed an IRS Form 990, as they are required to do but have failed, we might be able to determine how much funding these folks are getting from foundations and liberal interest groups and whether they’d be able to pay up. My guess is that they’d come up a little short.
Chesterfield County taxpayers have a bit better picture of what the presence of illegal aliens is costing the taxpayers and what impact this has on their county budget. For those who are dedicated to lowering taxes, reducing the number of illegal aliens that reside in Virginia is a largely untapped opportunity could provide some important opportunities to reduce demand on public resources. A synergy between those focused on fiscal issues and the increasing number of folks who are concerned about the number of illegal aliens in Virginia could prompt many additional localities in Virginia to start cracking down on illegal aliens, and encourage the State Senate to stop obstructing reasonable attempts by the House of Delegates to address this issue.
That’s going to put a lot of much-needed pressure on Governor Kaine to stop ducking this issue.

Why can’t the county bill Mexico for costs incurred by their citizens? Why can’t the county put a tax on any wire transfers to Mexico, El Salavador, etc.?
Georgia is putting a tax on all wire transfers to Mexico, they passed that law last year. Good idea about billing Mexico.
I believe walking out on a bill is against the law.
Figures for the school system should have been included in this study even though we are required to educate illegal’s. People need to understand the whole picture of costs associated with illegal immigration. One reason that we are building new schools is a direct result of the illegal alien population and the overcrowding situation in the area.
Once again, enough is enough.
Sure, bill Mexico for the expense of our taking care of illegal aliens?? …waste of a postage stamp!..:(
I’m curious about the lack of a Form 990 for Mexicanos Sin Fronteras…has the IRS been contacted about this oversight?
monticup - for the same reason we still do business with Communist China. We treat those countries who TRULY do not have America’s best interest at heart as MFN (Most Favored Nation) status in order to do business with them.
I wondered why Mattel had lead in the paint - thought we had outlawed that years ago…then I saw the toys were from China. Could you imagine if items WE shipped to China had the potential to kill Chinese children? Just like Mexico. Imagine the outrage if OUR criminals were told to go ahead and live free in Mexico (I know, many do, but I am talking about MASS migration of our criminals to south of the border).
I’m still trying to figure out how Mexicans sending money back to Mexico is of benefit to the U.S. as the apologists claim….
Sending half of one’s paycheck to Mexico means less money circulating in the American economy and less purchasing power. It harms U.S. businesses. That’s another indirect cost to communities.
On the subject of costs, here is a little nothing from the MJM this morning on exactly where our schools stand in PWC. I like the fact that it is emphasized that no “new trailers” were bought (thereby not costing any additional money?!) but they were “moved around”. LIttle emphasis is given to the fact, as the article states, that a new school must be built, Yorkshire Elementary, and is deceptively termed a renovation. As anyone might evince from the article, we may have not solved the problem of overcrowding just yet. As I was suggesting, we are not going to know the real impact until we get some numbers from the schools. As always, the MJM makes much hay for those who try to minimize the impact of illegal immigration

Make a point of speaking to LEGAL Hispanic Immigrants, and they’ll tell you Chesterfield County is the VA SANCTUARY for illegals.
Most illegals can’t afford Prince William, and certainly not Fairfax. What does help to draw them here is something we’re not talking enough about.
The message to HSM is that PWC must begin hunting down housing renovations being down without proper permitting for the purpose of providing low income housing tenements.
We must pass an ordinance IMMEDIATELY allowing only ONE FAMILY PER HOUSEHOLD. With all the foreclosures, we’re going to see a surge in investment properties with slum lords who will exploit our lack of enforcement. This has always been the problem and things will get worse no matter how many Illegal Alien Resolutions we pass at the BOCS.
STEWART knows this is the truth, but it is his MUSLIM friends buying the property and converting them to low income multi-family dwellings, unlawfully. It is also how they BUY their voting privileges in our county.
Stewart is an ISLAMIC TERRORIST SYMPATHIZER; he is turning his head to the illegal immigration of Muslim’s in favor of political favors. Is this who you want to put in charge of the county that you care so much about?
Are you beginning to see the light?
Sharon PANDEK would NEVER knowingly turn a cheek to this if she had evidence of this type of abuse. Don’t be fooled.
Was Yorkshire Elementary not renovated about 10 years ago? What is the real story here? This area has been hit extremely hard as a result of uncontrolled immigration.

When I came to PWC in 2001 I was under the impression that Yorkshire had just been built. As a matter of fact, I clearly recall the construction materials were still on site. It was at the time a shining example of our ability to catch up with demand. Only six years later, we need a whole new school. Are these costs been added to the budget as extraordinary? This situation has just been repeated with many other schools in PWC.
The original Yorkshire is ancient. It was already here when I moved to this area back when dirt was forming on the earth. I think what you saw was the renovated Yorkshire. And you are correct, it did look brand new. But, you answered my question….that gives me a fairly accurate time frame as to when renovations took place.
Now I have another question: Are they going to tear down newly renovated Yorkshire or are they going to put a huge addition on it? Inquiring minds want to know.
I suspect that it will be an addition to accommodate all the new arrivals to that area in the past few years.
