Sanctuary county?

- Michael O. Kreps Las Vegas

The Review-journal’s Tuesday article regarding how Clark County commission­ers plan on spending our tax money should send off the alarm bell (“Kirkpatric­k to chair county board”).

Newly elected Tick Segerblom and other commission­ers want to spend $500,000, along with $100,000 in grant money over the next two years, on UNLV’S Immigratio­n Clinic. This will allow the clinic to provide legal aid to people who have entered this country illegally and to help them fight deportatio­n. This is absurd and possibly illegal.

So they are using our money to fight the federal government, which is prosecutin­g people who entered the country illegally. In essence, this makes Clark County a sanctuary county. Is that what we want?
