ABOUT According to the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, every county in the United States some involvement with the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) immigration enforcement efforts. However, the cost to taxpayers when local governments “partner” with DHS goes well beyond what few dollars a community might get from the federal government and often exceeds expected criminal justice expenses. Crimmigration has led to significant increases in local spending on incarceration, an additional burden on city and county taxpayers. Communities lose valuable workers who are needed in vital parts of the local economy, which lose tax revenue when immigrants are ensnared in the system for minor immigration violations. Cities and counties also face potential lawsuits due to complications resulting from enforcing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) policies. All these costs are paid for by local taxpayers, with little to no reimbursement by the federal government.
