that the United States Border Patrol apprehends over 1,000,000 people each year
trying to illegally enter the United States, according to the Congressional
Research Service, the net growth in the number of unauthorized aliens has
increased by approximately 500,000 each year. The Southwest border accounts for
approximately 94 percent of all migrant apprehensions each year. Currently,
there are an estimated 11,000,000 unauthorized aliens in the United
States.</text>

Government provides States and localities assistance in covering costs related
to the detention of certain criminal aliens and the prosecution of Federal drug
cases, local law enforcement along the border are provided no assistance in
covering such expenses and must use their limited resources to combat drug
trafficking, human smuggling, kidnappings, the destruction of private property,

the local law enforcement agencies located along the border are small, rural
