I tend to agree with RvW; this is mostly about money the cities/states
get for managing the illegal people. They create jobs in city and state
governments (I believe Stam posted a list of a few), which the Federal
government funds through various Federal programs.

The whole situation sucks, to be honest. Illegal people have been coming
into the country for decades, but it's now at a point that the American
people can no longer afford to support them, educate their children and
pay their medical bills.

Most of these individuals are good people looking for a better life.
Sad part is, they went about it in the wrong way. No matter if you call it karma,
balancing the scales of life, or justice, sooner or later the piper needs to be paid.

It'll take Trump 4 years just to get out the criminals, so I don't think the vast
majority of illegals are in much danger for a while.
