"Assistance to Mexico “magnifies what can be done” with the billions of dollars that the federal government already provides state and local law enforcement, Walters said."

Where does the federal government get that money, John?

Bush's overall plan calls for $1.6 billion to be spent over three years to help Mexico, Central America, Haiti and the Dominican Republic combat drug traffickers.

"To Promote the General Welfare", no doubt.

”“If they allocate resources and money to Mexico, they should also consider protecting our side of the border first.”

Sounds like a reasonable request to me. Considering the general state of corruption within the Mexican government I can’t help thinking that our 400 million dollars in cash and equipment will be squandered somehow.

”Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, a member of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, had added $100 million to the emergency supplemental spending bill during Senate deliberations to bolster U.S. law enforcement agencies along the 1,947-mile border. But the House knocked out the added spending in the final compromise.”

You mean the final capitulation.

Yea, and who does the FedGov ask when they want to spend that money?

No respect at all for the taxpayers money.

But what would you expect from a guy who made a mint off the taxpayers in a stadium deal after doing nothing? He was raised to do what his grandfather and father did. Mooch off the American people. Niel, Jeb, George and the whole clan are not any more capable of worrying about money as the Kennedy clan, Pelosi, etc, etc. And now the Clinton's too.

Just a bunch of people on welfare. Bums. Leeches.

You can solve any problem if you throw enough money at it. Or not.
