1,000 patrol dogs, highly trained (with the advantage of protecting the arresting BP agent) = $500,000 per year (very generous estimate).
1 Hermes Drone, full of bugs and subject to loss and high maintence costs = $2,000,000 each.
Cost of either in lost profits from using cheap illegal labor to big U.S. business if used effectively and without political scavenging = HUNDREDS OF MILLION$.
Do the math.
Lying and acting are their top skills. Patriotism isn't in their character. The Oath of Office was just something they mumbled with no intention of ever obeying.
Makes too much sense. Fuggedaboudit.
