FAIRFAX, Virginia -- Fairfax County Executive Anthony Griffin ordered high-level staff this month to quantify the number of illegal immigrants living in the county and identify what services the county must provide them, according to a memorandum obtained by The Examiner.
The Oct. 1 document undermines the county’s argument that it cares only about illegal behavior and not legal status, showing that officials are working quietly to assess one of the most explosive issues in Northern Virginia.
Griffin said Tuesday he prepared the memo after an inquiry this summer from Supervisor Michael Frey, a Republican who represents the Sully District. Frey said he hasn’t yet received an answer on what the county is doing to address illegal aliens.
