Ok, here's my assignment for a DP reporter.  When you guys do investigative work, you produce some really good stuff (CPS study, etc).

Figure out the total cost of "managing" the illegal population.  How much does it cost to examine her case, have it ruled on, have the governor study it and even call her, and now ICE has evaluated the situation further and decided she gets a 30 day stay?  Multiply this by the # of cases under review.  I have a feeling the dollar amount would be staggering, especially where federal employees are involved. 

Not an easy task!  But these are REAL dollar amounts paid in full by REAL taxpayers.
