Officials at the county jail said, on a typical day, at least 40 prisoners held there are suspected illegal aliens, which they said costs the county about $1 million per year.
“What it's costing us, we're going to ask the federal government to foot that bill, and take charge and do their jobs,” said Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones.
Jones and state Rep. Courtney Combs said Friday that they hoped new laws would target illegal immigrants and the businesses that hire them.
They said at a press conference that they would like to see stiffer penalties and higher taxes for those employers.
“After what happened in Washington where nothing got done, it's falling back on the states where we have to do things like what we're doing here today,” Combs said.

We need a freaking Law for our Freaking elected Officials to Force them to Obey the Laws that we all have to Obey, Then we need a Freaking Law that forces Law Enforcement to Enforce the Current Freaking Laws (even if Cities, Counties, States don’t make any Money from the same said enforcement) and all of the Toys that Seatbelt Citations, Speeding Citations etc etc etc have paid for should finally be implemented to enforce the Laws that we “KNOW” don’t make the Cities, Counties, States any Money.
We are fed up with Law Enforcement only being able to collect Taxes, they can start doing their job or we're all for disbanding them firing their Political handlers and starting over.
