WHO: U.S. Senate
WHAT: In 2008, the Senate added a $16.7 million earmark to the 2008 State and Foreign Operations Appropriations bill for the International Boundary and Water Commission, which plans to use the money to build a sewerage treatment plant in Tijuana.
WHY IT’S AN OUTRAGE: IBWC is supposed to be enforcing water treaties between the U.S. and Mexico, not using taxpayer funds to reward the same country that brazenly violates federal immigration laws.
WHERE TO VENT: Call your senators via the Capitol Hill switchboard, 202-225-3121.
