Exactly why is it SO important to renovate this bridge??Don`t they have a better use for these funds????And What is it that we so desperately need from Mexico??Rep.Vicente{ Chente ????}Quintanilla says the bridge has suffered much { Neglect},it`s because almost all of his family used that bridge to cross over.I would use those funds to hire more ENGLISH speaking border agents.Which side USA/Mexico will be truly benefiting economically from this scam????Do I see more corrupt politicians at their best??

Better to have the new border crossing in Tornillo than in El Paso. Revise the plans for Tornillo and encrease the amount of lanes and its entire size. Send the commercial traffic to Tornillo and use the existing bridges for non commercial traffic.
This will by pass El Paso for the East bound trucks. To by pass El Paso West bound send the commercial traffic to the Santa Teresa Port of Entry and the tree huggers will be happy here in El Paso, and the business will suffer because the "feelings" of a few are greater than the many.

So I imagine Mexico will pay for half the cost? If not, why not?
Like we really need another freaking bridge that benefits only Mexico. Gee, I wonder who is making out on this construction?
Senator Kay,,,,hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Tornillo is a block with 1600 people, do you realize this? Old and overcrowded? By whom? 91.5 million tax payers dollars. Unreal. People,we are screwed.

You're in a strange mood, Sagittarius. You're feeling impatient and cross, and nothing is quite right. No wonder, with Mercury and Mars retrograde, under a Full Moon lunar eclipse!

Try to sort out the problem sooner rather than later, then do something energetic and therapeutic so you can burn off your nervous energy. Then you're all set for a great New Year's Eve!
