The San Angelo Standard Times recently reported that more than $79 million in the past four years designated for border security has been diverted to non-border related law enforcement. Rather than border security, the funds were used to purchase more than 200 new police cars and even a $7.4 million helicopter for use across the state.  The funds were spent by various state agencies including the Governor's Division of Emergency Management.

The story also explains that Perry has requested an additional $110 million from the Legislature to fight border violence.  In the meantime, Hutchison is cosponsoring an amendment to provide $550 million in federal funding to beef up border security in FY 2010.  The amendment includes "$260 million for Customs and Border Protection to hire, train, equip and deploy 1,600 officers and 400 canine teams to the border to significantly increase the number of exit inspections.

In other words, I see your $110 million and raise you $440 million.
