This one may be a catch-22

.. because conservatives have said the Stimulus money wasn't needed... but Governor Brewer's putting it to use... to help out on the Arizona Border

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, claiming to "reject" the Obama administration's assertion that the border is more secure than ever, announced Monday that she's directing $10 million in federal stimulus dollars to tackle smuggling and illegal immigration.

 Ironically I think, if I'm reading everything right, she's got every right to do so..

The border security stimulus money comes out of the stimulus package's State Fiscal Stabilization Fund. Though most of that money is intended to go toward education, states are allowed to use a small percentage toward public safety and "other government services." Brewer claimed in her statement that she was using her "discretionary" money pile to fight illegal immigration. 

Atlhough I guess i have to ask .. what is "small percentage" numbers.
