I think that I already know the answer to the question, but I was wondering if Mexico reimbursed the US for any of it's expenses? The cost to clean up our deserts alone must be very expensive (maybe we should let the trash build up, then Mexico will have built their own fence ), not to mention law enforcement, healthcare etc...I heard that some of the hospitals and the jails were billing our federal government, because the local facilities could not absorb the loss. The problem is that they are receiving only partial payment if anything at all. I am proud of the cities like Hazleton who have put their foot down...small but mighty!
