Border International Conference 2010

The Governor (Schwarzenegger) tells us how important the state international border issues are, however he cancels his participation in the governor border talks? What’s up with that? So he’s going to continue with the budget talks, how can he do the budget concerning the border issues, and not include the up dated information that would be available, Guess he’s on his way out and it will become someone Else's problem. ( Yes, Ours, yours and mine).
His office sent an email saying he would be a no-show, AGAIN! What do they mean canceled due to lack of interest!

They have wasted two months on the budget, and numerous delays. Duh, he went to trade mission in China, Japan and South Korea, in stead of addressing the Budget, now he’s said that was more important, and now the budget is more important than the residents safety of the border areas. I think he needs to stay out of politics.

His office said in an e-mail Saturday that he will remain in Sacramento to attend budget talks with Legislative leaders Monday. what was wrong with getting facts on Sunday?

Schwarzenegger returned last week from a six-day mission to China, Japan and South Korea. The countries are significant trading partners (we think so is Mexico), but the trip's timing was criticized by some observers because the state budget is more than two months overdue. And he does not think we are as important?

The site was changed from Arizona (what do you mean you don't know why) to Santa Fe, New Mexico is site of the latest in a series of Border Governors Conferences, taking place right now. Hosted by Governors Schwarzenegger (CA, Who Dropped out, how can the Co-host be a no show?) and Richardson (NM), the governors of US and Mexico border states – Arizona, Baja California, California, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, New Mexico, Sonora, Tamaulipas and Texas – are hashing out vital issues tied to Border Security, Economic Development and Energy, and our daily lives.

We should listen when these six Mexican and four US governors talk? Because their 10 Border States represent a joint economy that ranks third in the world. And, with 42 different ports of entry, the region also represents one of the most dynamic trade and border crossing regions in the world. Did we mention, cartels, drugs, crime, safety, security, troops. Why are those issues not important to him?

Gov. Schwarzenegger (the no show was to be has been ) the state’s A-List deal maker; his recent trip to China resulted in preliminary agreements with Chinese suppliers for a high-speed, north-south rail link for the Golden State. (just as in the 19th century, China again contributes to Western US rail expansion… this time through infrastructure technology!)(but none for Mexico nor the Border and the Border States)?

Gov. Richardson just secured a grant from the Economic Development Administration (EDA) targeting expansion of cross-border commercial rail service between New Mexico and Nuevo Leon (and he was Pres. Obama’s early nominee for Secretary of Commerce). Why Az. and Ca., not receive any? Oh, they were not Nominees of the President!

Arizona's Jan Brewer and Governor Rick Perry of Texas will not attend. According to Gilbert Gallegos, Deputy Chief of Staff for Gov. Richardson, Gov. Perrys reason for not attending was said to be a scheduling conflict. Gov. Brewer’s office stated that her reason is that “she does not support a boycott of Arizona and this meeting is being held in response to an organized boycott of the state.”

Late news. Now for his State meetings, he claimed before the meetings, he was too ill to meet with anyone. So he ended up canceling everything. What a shame.

We on the California side of the border go under represented again! Both in the Budget and all other areas.
