Three counties in the Washington region have received among the highest numbers of unaccompanied minors fleeing Central America since January, according to the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement.
Fairfax, Prince George’s and Montgomery counties have taken in more children from the recent border surge than all but five other cities and counties across the nation, largely due to their sizeable populations of Central American immigrants. Most arriving children are placed with relatives or other guardians while awaiting deportation hearings.
According to the agency, only Los Angeles, Miami, one border county in Texas and two counties near New York City have received more such children in the past seven months. Fairfax has recieved 1,023 children, Prince George’s has received 960 and Montgomery has received 816. The District has received about 200.

And Maryland taxpayers are shafted again. O'Malley along with your local Democratic officials have embraced these people because it will be a reason pose additional taxes. You either wake up in November or prepare to move to another state. Its tough now and sooner or later you won't be able to afford to live in Maryland.
Contrary to popular belief Mi Casa NO Su Casa.
