PHOENIX - As Arizona Governor, Janet Napolitano submitted numerous invoices to the federal government for the cost of incarcerating criminal aliens under the State Criminal Alien Assistance Plan (SCAAP) from FY1994 to FY2008. Today State Treasurer Dean Martin announced that he is now pursuing those same claims with now Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
"The cost of illegal immigration has exhausted the Arizona State Treasury. In order to pay for the federal government's responsibility of securing our national borders and incarcerating individuals who enter the United States illegally and commit crimes, the state has incurred hundreds of millions of dollars of debt to pay these bills," said Treasurer Dean Martin.

Please don't make me regret this question: you posted this article and then claimed it to be 'MORE LIBERIAL BLAH-BLAH-BLAH' {your usual rant}
So here's the question: Just what exactly to you think that those states should do in order to follow the Federal Guidelines for handling those numerous illegals
It is after all a FEDERAL MANDATE and the States are just doing as they are told with the ILLEGALS, so when a Governor is struggling to NOT BANKRUPT her state by complying and follows what ever avenue that they need to request more funding for their specific problem.
Your all so qualified to rant/rave about your opinion on the 'LIBERAL WRONG DOING' so just exactly what are the states with the biggest burden for this problem supposed to do? I'm awaiting your words of wisdom/truth & actual knowledge
