PHOENIX Gov. Janet Napolitano announced Tuesday that she has billed the federal government for nearly $118 million in unreimbursed costs for imprisoning illegal immigrants who committed crimes in Arizona.
If the federal government doesn't pay, it should take custody of some 3,600 immigrant criminals now in state prisons, Napolitano said in a letter sent last week to U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
Napolitano released the letter and copies of two invoices sent with it one day after President Bush proposed eliminating funding for the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program. The program is supposed to reimburse state and local jurisdictions for costs involved in incarcerating immigrants convicted of a crime.
Justice Department spokesman Eric Holland had no immediate comment on Napolitano's demand.
haha........well thanks...but if you lived here you would see it all the time......one thing happens and many say the whole state is corrupt, and socialist and not worth a damned.....they have no idea as to the expanse of Calif, it is beyond their comprehension
Yes. Talks out of both sides of her mouth.
Napolitano is going to do the same thing.
Yes she is.
