Re: Release of about 300 illegal immigrants from federal custody in Arizona stirs up.
That money is accounted for until the sequestor.
I am not enthralled by governance by crisis. What I am seeing is ICE percieved a crisis that may or may not be there. Instead of making a plan...they decided to yell the sky is falling. You don't just dive into a bomb shelter, you wait for a reason to jump into it.
It costs money to feed and house prisoners, many are not kept in federal prisons but state and county facilities that charge rather impressive rates to hold federal prisoners. I'd opine the politicians so upset by the release are more upset their district will lose a federal teat to suck on.
You seem enthralled by governance by crisis. Rather than wait for the shortfall why not get out ahead of it? Why not be proactive in planning? When did putting into place a plan BEFORE the fan is turned on become a bad thing?
