“The bill passed by the Senate in July attempts to solve the problem of illegal immigration with a $46 billion “border surge,” adding 20,000 new Border Patrol agents, and $3 billion in new monitoring technology. But sheriffs policing the border say that misses the mark.”
My tax dollars at ‘work’ again, propping up xenophobia.
On the positive side though, this might reduce the number of deaths in the desert.
