Former Director of the E.P.A (Pres. Bush Cabinet); Former Republican Governor (NJ)
NJ should be compensated for costs associated with illegals
NJ alleges that "as a direct result of the federal government's failure to control its borders, NJ is improperly forced to bear the financial and administrative costs of imprisonment of illegal aliens who are convicted of crimes, [as well as the]
costs of education of illegal aliens." These costs for 1994 are approximately $50.5 million for incarceration and $162 million for education. NJ seeks a declaratory judgment that it has a right to reimbursement from the federal government.
