The article didn't outline how the money would be spent and used to curb drug smuggling. It basically just stated he is going to expand a border strike task force. $31.5 millions seems like a lot of money for a strike force. Wonder where the rest of the money is going...
"After those efforts helped make the border more secure, immigration shifted east — evidence of what is sometimes called the “balloon effect.” Total border control apprehensions have decreased in Arizona by about 45 percent since 2011, to 70,074 in 2015, and increased in Texas by about 44 percent to 210,468."
"Worried about the border, the Arizona Legislature in 2011 started raising money to be used to expand the state’s border fencing. That effort failed, but lawmakers last year awarded Dannels $219,000 it had collected from private donors, to be used to help the county track down illegal immigrants and smugglers. Most of the money will be spent on a $156,000 thermal binocular, which can be used to detect body heat in the distance. The rest will pay for six handheld thermal cameras, binoculars, handheld GPS and a scope."
so they raised $200K and bought one pair of thermal binocular? I would be very interested in seeing the difference one pair of this $156K binocular is against the $300 Iphone thermal imager:
