We also dont need snide comments by the elitist free trader hispandering syncophants similar to the ones posted by yours truly.
DoD is still taxpayer funded. Predators and Aerial surveillance tools are stationed at Fort Huachuca, yet the DHS refuses to attempt to use the tools to ensure border security of US Citizens, either by design or malevolent intent. Fort Huachuca proper is within 5 miles of the border. Illegals have caused accidents on the main road just off post.
Fort Huachuca is on the east side of a mountain range that runs to the border. The west side of the range is where illegals smuggle drugs humans, and also light multi thousand acre fires by not policing campfires.
Fort Huachuca also is host to an "aerostat" blimp which is supposed to be for aerial border security - IE a blimp based radar that Senator De Concini foisted upon the DoD.
WTF happened to information sharing between agencies post 9/11. Why could not DoD pass information on to DHS on suspected illegal activity, using passive aerial surveillance tools like the Aerostat, predator, and airborne elint and sigint platforms that Fort Huachuca is a center of excellence in training for? WTF not?
If you see illegal activity while flying do you report it?
The folks who live on the border dont have their personal US Marshalls to defend them. If it were up to you nothing at all would be done, because hispandering is more important than US Citizen security.
Now we are making illegal entry a felony and some want to tie law enforcment's hands by saying we must not shoot to kill. Must be Code Pink now infiltrating FR. I imagine that one could shoot tranquilizers so that all of the bureaucrats and lawyers would still have lots of process and paperwork. However, such a weapon could act as a powerful deterrent if it were not disabled by such reservations.
