WASHINGTON, D.C. -- D.C. Mayor Adrian M. Fenty yesterday said people seeking help or services from city officials should not be required to prove they are legal U.S. residents.
"It is our job to provide services, not to ask questions about legal status," said Mr. Fenty, a Democrat.
The mayor's stance is a departure from ones taken recently in surrounding jurisdictions, such as Prince William County, where supervisors last week voted to restrict illegal aliens from access to some taxpayer-funded programs and banned county officials from granting business licenses to persons who cannot prove their legal status.
