How much of the American boarder with Mexico is out of radar contact?

There was some fuss about the FAA creating TFRs for the UAVs that are
flying with boarder patrol along the Mexico. Why can't the UAV just
fly along under an IFR flight plan and everyone else just avoid the
little thing just like any other plane on an IFR flight plan?

When there is so much talk about securing the boarders, I can't
imagine that there is any strip of the boarder that we can not monitor
by radar.




The UAV is primarily looking at the ground....

Really? Gee and here this whole time I thought it was a cheap AWACS.....not
sh*t it's looking at the ground.

Ok, maybe I better explain my question.

The ISSUE seems to be deconfliction between the UAV flying boarder patrol
and VFR aircraft to ensure the two shall not collide.
