Months after spending $900,000 to supply immigrants and their families with "targeted services and resources," the mayor of Washington DC is giving an open borders group $100,000 to provide English classes, legal consultants and workshops to help them become American citizens. The mayor, Muriel Bowser, proudly announced this month that the taxpayer allocation "represents the largest such government fund in the nation." The money will help pay for projects that collaborate with employers to assist immigrant workers with the citizenship process by also hosting seminars, and individual legal consults. "Together, we're giving more immigrants in our community a fair shot at citizenship," Mayor Bowser said, bragging about similar programs funded with DC taxpayer dollars. "This grant builds on the work we have done through our Immigrant Justice Legal Services grant program and through the monthly citizenship workshops; it's an example of how we can work together as a community and use local resources to break down barriers to citizenship."
