    So you agree then that the lower states shouldn’t receive money then if they refuse to actually do anything about it? Especially since mass. is double dipping by giving money to those lower states to do exactly what they’re doing, plus also opening their own communities for these people.

      Do anything about what? If they’re not properly enforcing the laws by shipping people to another state to make a point, yes they should lose funding. ICE should be handling the borders anyways. It’s a federal jurisdiction not a state one. Why ICE likes to use state resources is beyond me. 20k people ICE employs, it needs to be a lot more to secure the land bridge we have.
