A lot was built on a broken system. Article estimates we are saving $30 billion a year with the reduction in illegal immigration.
""...Millions have left or been deported. And last year saw the largest drop in violent crime on record, but there's one impact you may not have heard much about," she said. "In American border towns that rode the illegal immigration surge. Jobs are now left unfilled, and checkout lines and city budgets are emptying out"
"Built on a broken system, the economies of some border towns are now dealing with fewer customers, thinner workforces, and tighter budgets, trying to find new ways to adjust to a national policy shift," Attkisson said...."
