Opinion compares immigration enforcement spending to bank robber's logic
Original: Opinion: If Willie Sutton were still here, he'd look for loot in ridiculous immigration enforcement spending
A Kansas Reflector opinion column argues that immigration enforcement spending has reached ridiculous levels, invoking the famous bank robber Willie Sutton. Sutton, who allegedly said he robbed banks 'because that's where the money is', is used to suggest that officials should look for wasteful spending in enforcement budgets. The piece frames current enforcement outlays as misdirected public money.
Why now: Ongoing public debate over the cost and scale of immigration enforcement spending.
