It's always easy for people who don't live near the border to love open immigration, as the direct costs aren't terribly huge (not to say that costs aren't big, but they are more indirect). But what about for counties along the border?
PHOENIX (AP) - A new study concludes that law enforcement and criminal prosecutions linked to illegal immigration is costing Arizona border counties millions of dollars a year.
The study says the battle over illegal immigration is also diverting money from parks, libraries and other law-enforcement efforts.
University of Arizona and San Diego State University researchers say in the four border counties in Arizona, costs increased 39% to $26.6 million in fiscal 2006.
Do you want to reimburse them? How about just building a wall and cutting off the jobs magnet instead?
