Stimulating Border War

Explain this one. The Associated Press is reporting that the busiest border crossing is getting no funds whatsoever and yet some remote location with three crosses a day in Montana is getting $15 Million.

A sleepy Montana checkpoint along the Canadian border that sees about three travelers a day will get $15 million under President Barack Obama's economic stimulus plan. A government priority list ranked the project as marginal.

A checkpoint in Laredo, Texas, which serves more than 55,000 travelers and 4,200 trucks a day, is rated among the government's highest priorities but was passed over for stimulus money.

Guess who is not only playing political favors but also clearly could care less about actual border security...
