| Description | A lesson for the feds: A county commissioner in Idaho has billed the Mexican government about $2 million for illegal aliens who have been on the taxpayers' dole.
Canyon County Commissioner Robert Vasquez mailed the bill to the closest Mexican consulate, in Salt Lake City. He says the county is due more than $1.4 million for jailing and more than $575,000 for doctoring foreign lawbreakers over past two years.
"By federal law, we're required to provide them services," Vasquez said. "So I thought ... then perhaps we ought to bill the nation of origin."
