  The federal government does not follow the law, otherwise we wouldn’t have this problem in the first place. It became a state problem when the federal government failed to do its duty. It is called pragmatism, which is sometimes better than the law.

      The federal government is supposed to handle the migrants, not the locals, and not the state. When states and local governments have to handle migrants that is the duty of the federal government, why do the locals, and the state have to spend money for something it has no jurisdiction over?

        I still don’t know what law you’re talking about. Most of the people crossing the border are requesting asylum and doing so in compliance with the law
