Change is in the works. Like all bureaucracy, things change at a glacial pace generally, but have speeded up to molasses under Bush.
What bothers me is that police cannot do anything.
I know it's not part of their job description but if they come across someone in their line of duty they can't report them to the INS to have them picked up.
It's a losing battle IMHO.
Actually, they deployed two Hermes 450s leased from Israel. The lease runs out in September and we've only seen them in the air twice. The only UAVs in constant use here on the border belong to American Border Patrol.
