Texas State Representative Cody Harris has reacted to a Texas Tribune article that reported the state had spent $148 million on transporting undocumented immigrants northward. Harris, who co-authored bills on border security and immigration during the 88th Legislative Session, suggested that the costs associated with relocating migrants should be evaluated based on the program's "effectiveness" and "necessity."
