Um, let's see....Riverside County and the State of California are going to spend $8.9 billion to drain the Salton Sea so it's 1/5 the size it used to be, which is coincidentally about the same cost to really build a serious fence the entire length of the U.S. / Mexican border.
Odd that the Federal Government can't find either the money (which is a round off error for them) or the technology (which is a lot easier than pumping out and securing the sea bed).
And Mr. Chertoff expects us to buy that.
