"lined with cement"
Let's just call it a wall.
So...What's a little water between friends? [/sarcasm]
"Bush administration lawyers are urging a federal appeals court to allow a section of a canal separating California and Mexico to be lined with cement to stop millions of gallons of water from seeping south of the border each year.
"The lawsuit claims there would be significant job losses on the Mexican side of the border as thousands of acres of crops would turn to dust, that Mexican wells would become polluted without the seepage and migratory birds would be threatened if wetlands disappeared. "
Fair is fair. They can have the water (which illegally seeps across the border) as long as they also take back the 20 million illegal aliens that cross the other way. 489 million gallons, 20 million illegals. What a deal.
Yeah, but most of that acre where the houses will be located will be preserved as a greenbelt. probably only funny if you grew up in So. Cal., Sorry
