One does not need to be an advocate of open borders to have concerns when one hears about a federal law enforcement agency engaging in a “crackdown.”

These subsidization schemes have only grown more aggressive in recent years. It is now well known that many American cities and states—not to mention the federal government—offer “free” cash, housing, food, and more.
This has done much to attract the flood of migrants that has arrived in the US in recent years. Earlier this year, for example, The New York Post reported that the mayor of New York is giving away pre-paid cash cards—each carrying “up to $10,000“— to foreign nationals in New York.
If you think about it a little bit, we knew that the practices enumerated by McMaken were perhaps the easiest way to ease the illegal aliens out of the country. Needless to say, every country could use the same methods to encourage the invaders to go home. It may take a little restraint on the part of the state (which is probably a dream) from giving the NGOs the money to support the invaders. Both the state and the NGOs are making out like the bandits they are, importing invaders.

It's often hard to even get the state to stop subsidizing problems.

Well, you have to understand the reason they are subsidizing the problems!! THEY are somehow making bank on the subsidizing. THEY have an incentive to keep on doing it. I think that “follow the money” works every time!
