however, the good news is for arizona, the good news is everyone realizes we can't just cut arizona off. well, at least we hope here, we hope they realize that, but in the research for my book, i found lots of examples of attempts to make agreements about sharing shortages. it's not been an easy thing to do, but just this last november, 2012, there have been -- there has been progress. we give mexico about 1.5 million acre feed, and that -- that's a treaty between the united states and mexico, so arizona, having the most junior rights to the colorado, feels upset about that situation saying, well, why should mexico always get their 1.5 million acre feed because of the treaty while we have to have a shortage while less water will run down the central arizona project canal? the shortage sharing would cascade. they do have a plan in place for shortage, and yet arizona would still take the first cut, but they are negotiating to try to minimize that. case understands they have to share in this. if you just take prior appropriation law the way it is laid out, arizona would simply suffer, and

the decision said you can't count to tributaries in arizona. they're entitled to the full 2.8 in acre feet of water and if they build a canal big enough, and he can do that. california had no choice but to accept the judgment and understand the have to live in the 4.4 limitations. but what happens after that is interesting. as soon as the decision is made from arizona starts thinking as though they cannot, but you have to have federal funding for the project at large. so they try to find funding in congress for it in at that point california with the can work two funding. in the end, arizona has to almost give up some of it gained in this lawsuit. yes, it was granted the right to the full 2.8 million-acre feet, but in order to persuade congress to get money for the project canal, arizona at that time had to agree with it the most junior rights, that the captain now would he cut off first in times of shortage. so arizona knows this. they are not happy about it. there's always been an anchor at california about them having better rights in our pri

this bill would increase the total personal income for arizona families by $2.5 billion in 2020. now there are people in this room who will say -- well, the border is not secure. the border is not secure, but it is a lot more secure than it was back in 1986 when we give amnesty to 3 million people. the answer to border security is technology. we have developed technology in iraq and afghanistan where we can use surveillance and we can detect. an example, in iraq for my one of the biggest problems that we face was the ied's, the explosives. they developed a radar, thanks to general petraeus, and it not only detects people and that activity, it tracks the back to where they came from. it is an amazing technology. with drones, sensors, towers, and with surveillance, we can surveil the border. the equipment we can do that with we got directly from the border control. nine sectors on the border between california and texas. and they assure me that if we put in that technology which was appropriated in the bill, it will not require additional taxpayer funds. we will have 90% effective c

there was one excavation along the way i remember out in the desert nears winslow, arizona. the desert out there is just a still life with a few landmarks on the horizon and this empty hole, the little colorado river desert, the painted desert, and we were working on a 500-room pueblo dating back to about 1400 ad. i just remember the wind just hailing down on us for days and you would be working down with trowels inside of a trench and if you stop for too long, the sand would start to fill up your hole again because it was blowing so much and everybody was turned away from the wind. so it looked like some kind of religious thing was going on here, all these people bowed to the ground for days and days tinkering with some unimaginable smallness in front of them while the wind just pushed harder and harder, sand blasting across you, filling up all the rooms that you just emptied out as if the desert is rolling back over itself. because even where trails are left, trails disappear out there. nothing stays for too long, even the footprints that last for 7 years eventually disappe
