Both states are prime locations for drugs and people smuggling. If ICE needs to go to DEFCON 5, start with those stars. Pushback would be -minimum from the state government and the population, as a whole would also be- supportive. Plus, there are reported to be millions of people in there states illegally. Get those bonuses. Forget that these are human beings with kids in school, taxpayers, consumers and they most probably constitute the heart of citizens who work hard, labor intensive jobs. The people who hire these people are the real criminals.
