And still, Pretty Boy Perry dithers in Texas, while billions of our tax dollars go to trying to educate the aboriginals flooding across the border, delivering more of them in our hospitals, and jailing thousands of them for crimes they have committed on our citizens. He just doesn't see a problem. I will never vote for that turkey again.
By the way, every state ought to follow New Mexico and Arizona's lead in declaring an illegal alien emergency. That might get the President's attention.

Again, I write: but are those "emergencies" and the "emergency federal funds" to those states going to prevent more illegal aliens in reaching those/any states and/or return present illegal aliens already there to elsewhere, as in, deport them?

IF these funding measures do nothing to stop the flow of illegal aliens and also reduce the numbers currently here, all the federal dollars will accomplish is increased funding to service illegal aliens...and thus, more incentive for...more illegal aliens.

It's one thing to just award federal dollars from taxpayers and say, "emergency" (and most taxpayers are not going to resent helping with an emergency), but it's another thing to actually apply the funding to reduce and solve the problem as to why the conditions exist.

This reminds me of emergency funding to states where homes are lost repeatedly from the same areas due to ongoing, returning, repeating natural disasters. If the homes are rebuilt where there is obvious, identified risk, you can only ask everyone else so many times to be bailed out before you have to make changes to habitats.

And it's the same with illegal aliens. You either have to fund them, stop policing them (costs for social and behavioral problems and needs) or you have to reduce if not prevent their presence in the first place. Illegals cost everyone, not just locally, regionally, but affect all states, the whole nation, negatively, and there has to be some process by which their numbers are reduced, prevented and those already here sent back "home."

Not here by legal means, then illegal and if so, then back you go to wherever.

The incentives are why they're here in the first place, combined with lack of border security and no barriers to illegal entry. You/we have to fix the access problems.
