That's wonderful that our Border Patrol was able to come to the rescue of these woman, quite possibly it sounds, saving their lives.

But I have always wondered who pays for these rescues? Some of these rescues can involve many man-hours, equipment, such as helicopters, multi-vehicles, multi-agencies, etc.

Does the person needing assistance get billed? How about mexico? After all, it's their negligent actions which placed them in a position to require assistance. It only seems right they would be billed.

Or is it like everything else with illegal invaders. They get a free ride while we Americans pick up the tab?
