It's a great move on the part of Washington state and I hope the rest of the states follow suit immediately.

Yeah,and the $270MILLION is JUST for housing them in JAILS!!!!!!!! That's NOT counting all the MILLIONS MORE they have cost us in OTHER ways!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS is the VERY reason that my state is going BROKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Although, i've got to say,our "governor" is a JOKE!!!!!! She's ONLY doing this, because she knows Arizonans are PISSED, and election time is COMING!!!!!!!!!! I can't stand her,myself!!!!!!!! She has VETOED almost every bill that would STOP the illegal immigration into our state!! She has done everything she can,to make prop200 ( an initiative passed by voters,that requires proof of citizenship to vote and get welfare benefits) USELESS!!!!!!!!! I would NEVER vote for her!

And the beat goes on.
Don't like the looks of the costs here.
I say I think maybe we (all States) should all do that. Its is push and shove. Everyone should get Legal somehow soon --or go. How you get Legal is another story.

wow great post, you know what's sad though, is those figures are just for incarcerating the illegals. Has Washington given a reply yet??

I have written to all of my state officials as well as my senators and congressman. I want Texas to bill the home country of the illegal for each and every dime that it costs us for them to be here.

It is a great idea....it seems as though a precedent has been set by reimbursing states for the cost of these illegals...

I think if you provide a service you should get paid for it.......very simple.
Funny note: Car repair, lawnmower repair, vacuum cleaner.....would do the repair and then after a reasonable time "sell the product for the cost and time it took to repair". How long before ALL OF YOU want that to happen. LMAO.....ROFL

Just one more example of the failure of the federal government to deal with this important issue. Our Federal government is so controlled by special interest and corporate lobbying money, it just can't deal with this. I encourage everyone to vote out every member running for re-election this year, regardless of party.
...let's fire them all!

I say it's about time...to look at new constitutional amendments and massive civil rights lawsuits!!!!
But don't get your hopes up - they have a reputation of picking them up driving them around the corner and just releasing them!! So BE ON YOUR GUARD!!!
