Why else would our federal government prosecute and persecute Border Patrol agents and a Deputy Sheriff just for doing their jobs? The feds want to make it safe (no gunfire) for illegals to come across the border.
The States, not the federal government will pay for all the social costs (unemployment, lost tax revenue, health care costs of illegals, increased diseases in the population, increased crime, increased education costs, welfare payments, etc, etc.)
Thank you George Bush.
Yeah, thanks : )
