I doubt it. Are the UAV's going to swoop down and gather up the
illegals?
By the time a UAV spots something and Border Patrol gets there the
illegals are long gone. Or are you saying the UAV's can discern
between
normal everyday illegals and terrorist? If so I would like to hear
more.

How you figure? illegals crossing the border are going to outrun a UAV
circling overhead? This I gotta see.


So the UAV sees them, now what? The Border Patrol stationed 25 miles
away dashes out and catches them. I doubt it. Isn't it true the Border
Patrol or whomever doesn't have the resources to detain and return
illegals and in fact leaves most of them go inside this country (US of
A)? Soooooo what are the UAVs going to accomplish other than taking
pictures of millions illegally crossing the border. At best it is a
multi-million dollar AN3 bolt in a 12 inch hole.


What do you think the Border Patrol does? Just stroll down the road and
if they happen to see an illegal, they arrest them? They've been dashing
out to locations tripped by sensors for years to catch illegals.

And they catch what? Maybe a couple of percent? Many of those are turned
lose on US soil. So what if the UAV can spot them for 30 hours, enough
people are simply not available to dash out as you say and apprehend. UAVs
are not a solution.
