On the other hand, the Border Patrol is an armed agency and there have been a number of incidents of violence between agents and people along the border, so non-lethal weapons might not be such a bad idea," Wilson added.

but will give the agency a greater viewing area so they can track drug traffickers and undocumented immigrants in order to ensure they are registered to vote...

“Spy Blimps In South Texas”
Looks like Krispy Kreme paid a visit to Texas after Obama =)
This is a good way to get a more accurate count of the illegals coming across the border.

*drug traffickers and undocumented immigrants*
How Un-PC of the author...
It should be “undocumented pharmacists” and undocumented immigrants.
We don't want several thousand drug dealers marching on Washington demanding their rights because we are using an outdated term to describe them.

Yeah those blimps would act as a deterrent to border crossings if they didn’t say “Welcome to California!” on them.../s

Non-lethal?
I think BP Agent Brian Terry has something to say about that—or he would if he didn’t go up against fully armed rip-crews and he was directed to use non-lethal shotgun rounds.

Hmmmmmm. They don't really seem all that interested in keeping them out. Are they putting these in place to keep us in?

If you like your imaginary borders, you will be able to keep your imaginary borders. Period.
If you like your silly notions of self-reliance, you will be able to keep your silly notions of self-reliance. Period.
No one will take them away. No matter what.

Not that the blimps couldn’t shot down with “Fast and Furious” weapons. Nah ...that would never happen.
