SAN ANTONIO -- Gov. Rick Perry called on the federal government Wednesday to reimburse Texas in full for holding undocumented immigrants in state prisons, reviving a symbolic message of border security woes made by other governors in previous years.

Among those governors was Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, who as Arizona's chief executive sent Washington invoices for imprisoning immigrants convicted of state crimes. Perry said he would begin doing the same.
