the port of laredo is the first port of entry to the u.s. by far, largest ports of entries for exchange of fruits and vegetables. dysfunctional border could not deal with this. dysfunctional border without intense cooperation have managed to achieve would never be able to successfully manage numbers. 57 ports of entry. daily crossings of a million people. 425,000 vehicles, and 30,000 trucks, not to talk about railroads going, trains going up and down all the time. they're in fact increasingly limited. both cities have become a hub, not only for manufacturing but services. with strong presence of high technology businesses. it is the first airport as cross border terminal connects with san diego. the mexican government understands a border with solid infrastructure will boost competitiveness and prosperity of the region. that's why president has given special attention to the northern border. with a program to lower taxes and to lower price of gas and give other incentives for competitiveness. prosperous border attracts tourism, creation of j

the motorway goes through it, no—one stops in port talbot.try and it would be... if it were a person, it would be a person thatjesus would've dealt with. but the interesting thing for you, you insists you are not religious you do this play and then you, yourself, for example, take on the moneylenders in wales. and you set up this end high—cost credit alliance. yes, well i suppose what happened, the passion happened in 2011, and as a result of that, and me becoming more connected to these different groups and organisations in the town, and having a sense of what it is that keeps communities alive, in very challenging circumstances... i wanted to stay connected. obviously, and they wanted me to, you know, talk about them, have a photograph, because the other experience i had over the 2.5 years, or whatever it was, developing it, i would come to the town and then go away, and come back, and go away. and each time i came back i would notice that something had gone. something had disappeared, that some service had been cut, so i was very aware of

it's been -- i think the port's most robust community engagement efforts. we've been doing road shows. if you'd like us to come to your district and explain the work that we're doing, we'd be happy to. i'm really proud of the work this they've done. they recently won an award from the aapa, and we're really proud of that them. with that, i'm going to turn it over to katie. >> this first bond sale will reimburse $6 million of the $9 million loan that the city's revolving loan made to the port program. they will also reimburse capital to the program that will allow them to continue seawall work that may not be bond eligible costs. the port has secured $446 million of the phase one budget to date, and we continue to seek other sources for the program including contributions through the state, possible participating in a cap-and-trade revenue. we're investigating looking into additional taxes to fund the remaining gap. this will primarily fund project staff, project planning, such as geotechnical investigations, completion of the multihazard risk assessment tha

i've never seen the port closed in. this type of talk appeals to people's worst instincts even received threats when you talk about the reality which contradicts what the minister says there are no close ports in lampedusa in fact there are always open this tiny island close to north africa that italy is one of the front lines in the battle between humanitarian needs and the newly robust migration laws. to criminalize ation of search and rescue operations means there are far fewer organizations that are able to provide assistance but there are some that still do the last few. hours. walking in we have felt the pressure coming from authorities those that do make it to lump of those wind up here at this migrant center for processing the system is a lot more efficient these days partly because there are fewer that come here but also because they get sent out in a matter of days rather than months but people that come here are still in effect of a mercy of a government that's proclaimed 0 tolerance towards their arrival man
