Wow. Just how many "surges" or "operations" have there been in the last few decades? And why is Galveston County STILL in Kinney County? Do the Galveston taxpayers know they're paying for their officers and vehicles to be here for the last untold number of months? Or is the money coming from state taxpayers through Operation Lone Star? What about Operation Stonegarden? I'd really like to see a roundup of all these border enforcement programs and a tally of what they've cost over, say, the last 30 years. And how effective they've been in reducing immigration (but I think we know the answer to that one). Thanks for this interview.

These are all great questions! And you give us a great idea for an upcoming article. Thanks Carolea for listening and for commenting.
