SEND IN THE DRONES: PREDATORS TO FLY ABOVE TEX-MEX BORDER Tue Apr 27 2010 19:39:41 ET

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told a Senate hearing Tuesday that unmanned aerial drones will soon fly through Texas skies!

"Big Sis" declared that over the past 15 months, federal law enforcement initiatives have made the border more secure than in any other time in history, the SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS reports in Wednesday editions.

The new "predator bees" have the capability to fly at altitudes used by commercial aircraft, and are designed to enhance intelligence capabilities of federal, state and local law enforcement.

But a recent analysis of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles found that they were twice as likely to crash as manned aircraft, according to the Congressional Research Service.

A wall like that is way too simple and effective for any of
our hapless politicans to build.

Recent weeks,lots of them actually...I had a legal immigrant from St Lucia working on my house. He ran into some Mexicans working across the street and his reaction was telling. He had no use for them.

At one point of the Mexicans caught an inguana. He intended to eat it but lizard took a chunk out of him first. I asked my guy if they had tetnus shots and he laughed at me. Mexican workers were far too primitive to grasp that sort of thing in his opinion.

Folks, we have so many options. The hatred between those who did the right thing to be here vs those who did not is very real. We only need to win the good guys to our side.

They’ll use them to air-drop voter registration forms, which will then be picked up by ACORN workers at border checkpoints. In this way they can expedite the new Democrat voter registration process.

I’ve said for many years we need to put in a minefield...
cheap, effective and needs no diversity training.

It works well for South Korea and they have a lot fewer murders and kidnappings on their border.

I know one commercial pilot that is none too happy about this, And has been warning anyone who will listen about what is going to happen.

Illegal immigrant is anyone of any race that is here illegally. I think most at FR know there are even Al Quaida entering across the southern border.

And, what's that, our military is too damned stupid to take care of business without taking out your friend? Wait, what?

Incidentally, I guess the new law in Arizona means Obama won't dare to campaign anywhere near Maricopa County, lest Sheriff Arpaiao deport him ;-)

Cheers!

I can understand how you would feel that way. Sometimes the statements made by others are crude and stomach-turning.

Let me tell you something you may not know: the Mexican government has funded hate U.S.A. museums within its borders. I only know of two but suspect there are others located in Mexico. This kind of crap is being taught to the people who are invading our nation.

The Mexican government has as part of its national policiy the aim of Reconquista - reconquering land that it believes whites stole from Mexico.

If there is anger and dislike aimed at Mexicans, I can guarantee you some of it has been well earned.

Why not send in the drones.

We’ve already sent in the clowns.

They are going to do what with the footage. Sale it to reality TV?

How about something constructive. Like a fence. Guards. Effective measures for stopping crossings. Positioned along all of our borders.

Seriously, how much can it cost to just build a wall like the one in Israel? Probably much cheaper than the health care bill will end up costing.

There's no "probably" about it.

I don’t care about Mexican busboys, construction workers or day laborers, so long as they are here legally.

It’s a tough call, you have people desperate to make something different for their lives and their families back home and yet the circumstances of their being here are the conundrum.

Every thing they do is a crime for which I would be in jail, for a long, long time. From identity fraud to SS# fraud, from tax fraud to unlawful employment and no car insurance.

Ever wonder why they drive junky cars or suddenly have a new one? Well, it seems that when they can’t obtain a license they also cannot get their car tagged.

Cop stops them, has compassion, doesn’t arrest but, issues ticket and confiscates the vehicle.

Cost of doing business if you are here illegally. They simply run down to the used car lot and buy another one.

Crappy deal and I hate seeing it when it happens.

But, they are here illegally.

BTW, saw this happen to a Russian, a Chilean and Irish fellow. Real nice guys and work ethic you would just have to admire. Great sense of humor. Takes jokes and jibes and give em back as well.

Unfortunately they chose the method that many of us feel is unfair and of course it is.

They don’t make the connection, before they leave Mexico, that the money they pay a coyote is enough to begin visa or naturalization. Someone would sponsor them and I think it would be a great idea if there were a group that set up a sponsor program. Heck HP has one.

Oh and skip the “you are a racist” crap. I live with mexicans, party with them, work with them, etc, and don’t feel they are one bit different than me.

Except for that yarona thing.

Oh and I speak Mexican. Yes that’s right I said Mexican. Since you go to Spain, you understand the difference in dialect. Catalonian is very different than Mexican as is Castillion.(that one threw me the first time in Chile, but then again I was drunk and couldn’t really hear over the music, especially since it was 2 and I was ready for bed so I could go back out on the mountain at Valle Nevado)

So just an American who wants everyone to play fair and be judged the same.

Oh well, under your definition, I am a serial racist. Have fun plowing that field looking for more synthetic racial animous.

Que Tiene Buen Nochas.

The funny part is, it was a bunch of fair skinned people from Spain who settled it.
