It seems very inconsistent to spend millions chasing them through the desert, where many of them die, but, when they make it through, say, “ok, you made it. Good on ya. Welcome to the USA. Here’s your driver license. Have a good day. Off you go.” I mean, if we’re going to welcome them here, let’s let them in. If we’re not going to let them in, let’s deport when we find them.

It’s a case of CA law differing from Fed law. CA is basically telling the Feds to get lost. I don’t have a huge problem with that. Either this situation will remain or the courts will reconcile it in 5-10 years.
