This law 'helps' correct this by the state giving the local more power and then forcing the federal to fund based on the national guard - if that all goes through.

Why is the ratio important? Most are just passing through, not staying in Arizona.
The area is heavily monitored within twenty miles of the border, not just at the border. Getting through the law enforcement gauntlet that stretches twenty miles north is the hard part, not getting over the border itself.
