US COUNTIES ON MEXICAN BORDER FORM COALITION TO LOBBY FOR IMMIGRATION MONEY Counties along the US-Mexican border have formed the US-Mexico Border County Coalition to lobby Congress for more funding to recoup expenses associated with illegal immigration. The USMBCC is seeking more funds to pay for health care, legal and education costs associated with dealing with illegal immigrants. Nearly 1.3 of the 1.4 illegal immigrants apprehended by the US Border Patrol last year were in the Southwest US. San Diego County officials contend that undocumented immigrants cost the county $240 million each year, $50 million for health care alone. The USMBCC met in El Paso last month, the second meeting the group has now had. The first meeting took place this past June in San Diego.
