Very good post! I was unaware of all of that. Thank you.
It’s unlikely that Justice will pay to help enforce border security as it was the Administration who generated this problem. Never let a crisis go to waste.
Historically, the negative impact of illegal immigration has always fallen disproportionally on the border states. There are HEW costs, criminal justice costs, environmental costs, societal costs, etc.
Clearly, these are national problems and the feds/Congress should be paying all these costs. But they don't. Because, members of congress from other states don't want to pay.
