Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The criticism centers on the efficiency of state spending related to immigration enforcement and detention. Ingoglia suggested that funds could have been better used to make sheriff's detention centers compliant with 287(g). This raises questions about how state resources are allocated for border and immigration processes.
