A $1 billion-a-year bill moving through Congress would add miles of roads and fences along the border and waive more than a dozen environmental laws within 100 miles of the border even though top immigration officials say thats not needed.

The proposed bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to achieve operational control of the U.S.-Mexico border. That means that all illegal entries are stopped, which top DHS officials have said is unrealistic.

But Martha McSally, Southern Arizonas newly elected Republican U.S. representative who co-sponsored the House bill, said setting an ambitious standard is the best way to achieve success.

We have to set a very high goal to understand how important it is to get this job done, McSally said. Arizonas U.S. senators Republicans John McCain and Jeff Flake co-sponsored the Senate version of the bill.

The House bills author, Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, calls it the toughest border security bill ever set before Congress, but neither the Border Patrol union nor local environmentalists think its needed.

We dont address the underlying issues, said Roger McManus, a biologist who is president of Friends of the Sonoran Desert. People keep coming here for jobs, and drugs keep coming through over the border because theres a demand for them, he said.

Groups on both sides of the immigration debate also have spoken out against the bill either because they say it doesnt do enough to stop illegal immigration or because it wont lead to comprehensive immigration reform.

Perhaps the strongest rebuke of all came Friday from Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson, who issued a statement saying the bill is extreme to the point of being unworkable; if enacted, it would actually leave the border less secure. The bill sets mandatory and highly prescriptive standards that the Border Patrol itself regards as impossible to achieve, undermines the Department of Homeland Securitys capacity to adapt to emerging threats, and politicizes tactical decisions.

Among other things, the Republican bill would:

Add 48 miles of new double-layer pedestrian fencing.

As Major League Baseball's Rob Manfred, now chief operating officer, succeeds retiring Commissioner Bud Selig on Sunday, MLB is heading into a new season in its best financial shape in years. In fact, some sports economists argue the sport is gaining ground financially on the National Football Leauge, the most lucrative and popular professional sport.

Revenue from MLB's 32 teams hit a record $9 billion in 2014, a 12.5 percent increase from 2013, thanks to increases in broadcast fees and gate receipts along with gains from the league's digital media business, Major League Baseball Advanced Media (BAM).

The service lets fans stream out-of-market games over their devices. Some experts consider BAM, which also has nonbaseball customers, to be among the most effective digital media business models and is MLB's fastest growing business. Indeed, MLB executives are optimistic about the league's growth prospects, although they declined to provide specifics.

"We believe we have the most valuable assets of any live sport, and we are looking to grow our top line significantly," MLB senior executive Bob Bowman recently told Sports Business Journal.

University of Michigan sports economist Rodney Fort argued that baseball will catch the NFL in the next two to three seasons because of BAM and the growth of regional sports networks. "They have been closing in on football for the past five or six years," Fort told CBS MoneyWatch. "Baseball is definitely going to catch football in the next few years."

Other sports economists aren't so sure. The NFL generates about $10 billion in revenue now and may hit $25 billion by 2027. And pro football's dominance of TV ratings isn't in danger from baseball or any other sport.

Dear Answer Man, thank you for your efforts to track down the facts of life here in DMC-ville. Here is a bit of a challenge, if you care to accept it.

A large, out-of-town demolition company has been awarded a contract to demolish a building owned by the Mayo Foundation. The work is to be done at night within the next two or three months, and it must be completed entirely within a 30-day period.
