But one area of concern is the Senate bill's provision establishing specific amounts of bail for illegal immigrants arrested for crimes. Some fear that will increase the number of jail inmates, which will cost counties additional money.

I can see where it is more efficent to let them out of jail to commit more crimes. That would most likely save the county a lot of money or send the criminals to another state ..
