The Texas lawsuit in 2014 seemed to focus on the cost of having to make a special drivers license for DACA recipients and they argued that it was costing them like 5 bucks extra or something and if DAPA and expansion of DACA would go into place, it would cost them a bunch of money.
I remember in the 5th circuit court one of the judges asked whether that was a self inflicted wound and they wouldn't have to give a special license, but I forget what the response was. I'm sure someone can dig up the arguments.
Republicans are good at pseudo math however. I'm sure they will dig up any criminal Dreamers and blame them for all the crimes, cost of college going up, etc.
