“Gwinnett County Sheriff Butch Conway says his office is entitled to $694,839 in reimbursements from the federal government to cover the climbing cost of jailing illegal immigrants who have been convicted of crimes.

He has filed for reimbursement through the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program to cover expenditures from July 2006 through last June. SCAAP is a federally-funded program designed to help local law enforcement agencies recoup officer salary costs associated with housing undocumented criminal aliens.”*
