No where in the articles that I have read does it say why funds are necessary for the 'Pilot Program.'
It is not for inspections as what I read was that the Mexican trucks would not be inspected for safety as it would be 'unfair' to them because they could not afford the cost of repairs.

ANN ARBOR, MI – The ACLU launched a new attack in a California federal district court last week against the Mt. Soledad cross and veterans memorial. The lawsuit was filed against the Secretary of Defense, Donald H. Rumsfeld, on behalf of the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America, a Jewish doctor who served two years in the Navy, his Muslim wife who came to this country from Iran four years ago, and an individual resident of San Diego who is “discomfited” by the presence of the cross.

Posted at 1:47pm on Jun. 1, 2006 Desert Denial nets 80 illegal aliens
By KARL DEWEY
"Operation Desert Denial" began at midnight on May 19 and resulted in the apprehension of approximately 80 illegal immigrants on the first night, according to El Centro Sector spokesperson Enriue Lavano.
"Agents are staying in Barstow while conducting the operation along portions of Interstate 40," said Lavano.
And at least nine vehicles directly involved in the smuggling of those arrested have also been seized as the operation continues, he added.
"Enforcement of federal law does not stop at the border, and smuggling must be eradicated, specifically along the main arteries of our nation's highways away from the border. The United States Border Patrol is committed in securing our nation's borders and providing an inhospitable environment for smuggling and terrorism." said Carl L. McClafferty, chief patrol agent for the El Centro sector.

By KARL DEWEY
Checkout WWW.SPP.GOV website.
Plans are afoot to make Mexico, Canada, and the United States into the North-American Union like the European Union. No treaties, just a series of regulation changes.
Have you heard of the "Amera" currency?
The euro may simply be the wave of the future. In 20 years, all the currencies of North and South America may be consolidated into the amera. And 50 years after that, there may be just one single global currency: the 'worldo.' "

Security and Prosperity Partnership Of North America
President George Bush, President Vicente Fox of Mexico, and Prime Minister Paul Martin of Canada unveiled a blueprint for a safer and more prosperous North America when they announced the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) on March 23 in Waco, TX. They agreed on ambitious security and prosperity agendas to keep our borders closed to terrorism and open to trade. The SPP is based on the premise that security and our economic prosperity are mutually reinforcing, and recognizes that our three great nations are bound by a shared belief in freedom, economic opportunity, and strong democratic institutions.
The SPP provides the framework to ensure that North America is the safest and best place to live and do business. The Partnership is a trilateral effort to increase security and enhance prosperity among the three countries through greater cooperation and information-sharing.

Posted at 7:03pm on May 23, 2006 We don't need any stinking Orange Card!

Feinstein offers plan to legalize immigrants
Washington -- Sen. Dianne Feinstein called the complicated Senate plan to legalize the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the country "100 percent calculated to fail" and proposed Monday a simpler system based on a bar-coded orange card for anyone illegally in the country before January. "If we don't get this right, we're going to end up repeating the mistakes of the past," Feinstein said of the proposed immigration overhaul.Feinstein said the Senate's plan to split immigrants into three groups -- and treat each group differently -- is unworkable and predicted it would create a bureaucratic nightmare and would lead to substantial fraud.
I guess she thinks it is politically incorrect to segregate the illegals into three groups.
Feinstein last week pushed through what so far has been the most significant change to the Senate bill, sharply reducing the size of the guest worker program from 325,000 a year, with an automatic 20 percent increase each year that ceiling was reached, to 200,000 a year, with no escalator clause. Feinstein worried that the guest worker plan could bring in millions more immigrants than intended once workers are allowed to bring in their families.
That amendment passed but brought heated protests from business lobbyists, who said 200,000 is far fewer than the estimated half a million people who now enter illegally each year. As a result, they said, many migrants will continue to come illegally, planting the seeds of a new illegal population.
Feinstein's orange card proposal, by contrast, would expand eligibility for those already in the country by eliminating the three-tiered system. She would move the cutoff date to Jan. 1, 2006 -- assuring that anyone in the country illegally as of that date could apply for legalization without having to prove residence as far back as five yeas ago.

How bad is the politics of the open borders?
May 09, 2006 06:57 PM EST
by Jim Kouri - Superiors at the US Border Patrol are tipping off the Mexican government about the locations the Minuteman Project members on the border. And the Mexicans are diverting illegals away from those areas for crossing, according to CNN pundit Lou Dobbs.
Sara Carter, a reporter with the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, reports today that she found documentation on Mexican government websites that show higher ups in the United States Border Patrol have been tipping off the corrupt Mexican government as to the locations of the Minutemen along the border.The article claims that the Border Patrol chiefs have also been passing along intelligence reports to the government of Mexico on the activities of Minutemen not only at the borders, but in locations such as Utah, Nevada, Illinois, Massachusetts and Tennessee.
Part of a US report distributed last August to the Mexican government from Border Patrol bureaucrats contained not only numbers (estimated chapter membership) of Minutemen in Illinois, but a statement on their activities and that they didn't seem to know any politicians there, indicating that the Illinois Minutemen didn't yet have any political clout.
"That is not a report on the location of Minutemen at the border, but political intelligence from our government to a foreign nation about the activities of American citizens petitioning our own government for redress of grievances," says a Border Patrol agent who opposes this cooperation with the Mexican government.

US notifying Mexico of civilian border patrol locations
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES - The U.S. Border Patrol is alerting the Mexican government to the locations of civilian border patrol groups when the organizations help detain suspected illegal immigrants or use violence against them, according to a published report.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Mario Martinez told the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin of Ontario that the policy is meant to assure the Mexican government that migrants' rights are being observed.
The policy pertains to groups including the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps and the Friends of the Border Patrol, a Chino-based nonprofit.
"It's not a secret where the Minuteman volunteers are going to be," Martinez said Monday. "This ... simply makes two basic statements - that we will not allow any lawlessness of any type, and that if an alien is encountered by a Minuteman or arrested by the Minuteman, then we will allow that government to interview the person."
Minuteman members, however, said the Border Patrol's policy negates the private group's effectiveness and could endanger their lives.
"Now we know why it seemed like Mexican officials knew where we were all the time," said Chris Simcox, the organization's founder. "It's unbelievable that our own government agency is sending intelligence to another country. They are sending intelligence to a nation where corruption runs rampant, and that could be getting into the hands of criminal cartels."
The Daily Bulletin said it was unable to reach officials with the Mexican consulate in Washington, D.C. on Monday.
TJ Bonner, president of the Border Patrol agents' union, said members have long complained that the Mexican government has undue influence over U.S. enforcement policies.
"That's not a legitimate role for any foreign nation," Bonner said.
