the House and Senate woud be a good start.
They are not going to do anything.
Perry, Kay Bailey and Cronyn are RINOs.
“Why? The mexican government officials don’t give a rat’s @$$ about our sovereignty issues when they print “how-to” manuals to help their citizens invade our country.”
I think that was an act of war myself. It was at that point I think we should have told the Mexican Govt. stop your people from invading or we send the full force of the US military and Mexico becomes US Territory in 6 weeks
with rockets and machine guns I hope.
Ditto!to that.I’m tired of playing games with this criminal invasion.Its time too get serious.
A smartly placed minefield with English and Spanish warning sign would work better and be cheaper.
Be careful what you wish for gentlemen! They could just as easily be used to keep YOU INSIDE.
Even cheaper solution. Every 20 miles or so dig a few grave sized holes in a row and fill them back up. Then put crude stick crosses sticking in the fresh dirt mounds. No warning signs are even necessary, as the point will be obvious to even the illiterate.
Yes! A strategically placed Hellfire missile will put a pause in someones step!
I wouldn’t be surprised to if our drones are used to drop illegals MREs,GPS ,bottled water and voting ballots.
They already are...
Have a good friend who is a flight officer in the Tx DPS and they have been doing coordinated surveilance between fixed wing manned and unmanned A/C since late last year...
It’s actually been fairly effective...The only problem is getting the boots on the ground to move faster to intercept suspected drug and human trafficking groups...
Not enough personnel...
Drones on the border may prove an effective tool, but Predator B on the US border is like using dynamite to kill an ant. Predators operate above effective small arms range and use advanced datalinks for flight control and sensor data relay. That means $$$$$$$. Those elements are not necessary in a no-threat environment - and are a substantial waste of money. That money could be better spent on personnel to apprehend, process, and prosecute the criminal invaders.
For some reason, it's very important to the politicians that the border not look like its defended.
So, we get all this "virtual fence", drones and tethered balloons crap.
Evidently, a fence offends their sensibilities. But it's cheaper...and it works.
As Robert Frost wrote, good fences make good neighbors.
Ping!
Targeting U.S. citizens? For what crimes?
Pick an issue, make it a crime...There apparently are no boundaries...
Arizona tested a drone or two I am pretty sure I remember mysterious crashes. I think smugglers will shoot them down and it will become pretty expensive.
Could be ???? would be MONTHS ?? I do not believe a word.. this is a silence the masses plan.. as soon as they are all legalized the planes or the ‘virtual fence” would cease to work..
I want a REAL fence NOW
