Description
ATV's monthly conversation with County Board members on the major issues discussed at July's Board meeting
A
B
You
know
our
immigrant
community
is
so
much
part
of
who
we
are,
and
so
much
a
part
of
our
community
but
becoming
a
citizen
is
not
an
easy
task.
There's
all
this
time
and
it's
a
seven
hundred
and
twenty-five
dollar
fee,
so
that
and
that
is
really
hard
for
folks
to
come
up
with
in
this
particular
individually.
Who
wants
to
be
I?
Don't
know
who
it
is.
B
You
know
heard
about
this,
and
so
she
made
a
seven
thousand
dollar
donation
to
put
it
into
a
fund
to
help
pay
the
fees,
the
people
who
wanted
to
become
citizens.
And
so
then
we
started
off
front.
We
voted
I,
think
they
devoted
accepted
because
the
we
and
we
can't
just
take
money.
We
have
to
like
vote
to
do
it
and
get
it
get
it
all
set
up
which
is
good
and
then
our
department,
Human
Services,
started
this
citizenship
scholarship
fund.
We
put
out
a
little
press
release
and
then.
A
B
Touches
people
in
our
hearts
and
I
think
the
horrible
things
that
are
going
on
in
this
country
with
the
immigrant
population.
Just
it
was
it's
a
small
way
for
us
to
push
back
and
show
what
our
values
are.
Make
people
welcome
and
help
build.
You
know
strengthen
our
community
because
again,
the
folks
who
come
here
and
become
citizens
are
some
of
our
most
really
valued
members.
We
really
depend
on
them
and
they
are
depending
on
us
and
we're
working
together.
So
it
really
is
a
heartwarming
story.
It
is.
C
And
I
think
it's
such
a
nerve,
we
as
to
be
suggested
we
had.
Fourth,
forty
thousand
dollars
come
in
to
match
spent
seven
thousand.
It
actually
has
been
so
generous
that
our
Department
of
Human
Services
staff
are
a
little
nervous
about
how
long
it's
gonna
take
to
actually
use
that
money
up.
Of
course,
the
process
of
becoming
a
citizen
is
really
lengthy
right
so
by
the
time
folks
are
ready
to
use
that
scholarship
money.
C
But
in
this
particular
moment
we're
in
helping
them
navigate
very
difficult
questions
about
power
of
attorney,
visas,
etc,
planning
for
their
families
in
case
they
are
in
a
mixed
status
family
and
are
concerned
about
a
federal
immigration
enforcement.
Citizens
who
are
interested
can
learn
a
lot
more
about
these
organizations
and
about
what
Arlington
County
is
doing
by
visiting
Arlington
Va
US
and
searching
immigration
in
the
search
bar
to
get
to
our
dedicated
page
of
fa.
Q's
resources
and
links
to
these
nonprofit
groups
they're
all
doing
wonderful
work.
C
There
are
never
enough
resources
to
go
around,
and
so
if
people
are
interested
in
matching
the
generosity
of
their
citizens
and
taking
a
stand,
as
Libby
said
on
behalf
of
our
diverse
and
inclusive
community
and
our
immigrant
neighbors,
there
are
some
great
organizations
that
can
turn
those
resources
into
action
to
help
others.
Alright,.
A
That
sounds
like
a
perfect
way
to
end
on
that
note
and
that
will
bring
us
to
the
end
of
another
county
board.
