I'm way off topic, but this is a continuation of conversations we had earlier. I was just looking at the legislation signed in California today by the Governor. According to a late afternoon press release, SB 1282, Ducheny Transportation: federal funds: border infrastructure program was signed into law today. Imagine my surprise when I found the following in the Legislative Counsel's Digest:

   This bill would require federal funds apportioned to the state
under the coordinated border infrastructure program of SAFETEA-LU to
be programmed, allocated, and expended in the same manner as other
federal transportation capital funds in the state transportation
improvement program, except that these federal funds would be exempt
from being included in the transportation funds subject to the
distribution and fair share formulas. The bill would also authorize
these funds to be used for projects located in Mexico. The bill would
authorize any nonfederal funds needed to match these federal funds
to be programmed from any available local source or any available
state transportation funding source, with the concurrence of the
applicable regional transportation planning agency.

I guess it depends upon how that money is spent.

I wouldn't have a problem with it if it was for building inspection and processing facilities on Mexican soil. That way we wouldn't have to deport the people who get caught.

Surely you don't expect that Austrian socialist, Arnold, to give a damn about American sovereignty.
