You can use all the high tech equipment you want to find/track em but it still takes manpower to hunt em down, detain em and send/deport em back where they came from. High tech is useless without the manpower to back it up.

Catching them isn't the issue. They will always find a way through no matter how many agents we have out there looking. Not to mention all the problems that we have with "students" who come over here and never leave. Until we decide how we're going to deal with immigration problems as a whole, having more bodies patrolling the border won't make a difference.

We've already got more border intruders than the agents can handle. All the high tech equipment will do is show that we have even more border intruders and that we still don't have enough agents to intercept and process all of them. Troops on the border is the answer until things slow down.

You are absolutely correct.

Just look at the 10 million dollar UAV program for the Border Patrol. The UAV's detected over 800,000 illegal aliens crossing the borders, but they BP only apprehended a little over 2,000 of those.

Just one small fact the Feds don't want you to know about.

You can go here to read more about it.
