OMG you have to be kidding me, she is already handing over more $$$ to Mexico to fight on their side of the border! Everyone knows that the Mexican government is corrupt and they will not use the $$$ for what it is intended for! Even Gov Brewer has displayed her disgust with the White House for their ignorant decisions in giving Mexico twice as much money to secure the border as they give our border states!

That money should go to SECURING the leaky toilet.
