1986? Pls explain. (It's Monday, and my brain isn't working in full throttle yet).

They said drones MAY be deployed along the border. Great! But how many? The reports stated the NG's primary job would be to take up the paperwork positions so more border patrolmen can be freed up. But the border patrols still will be so greatly understaffed that illegals will, for the most part, walk right through.

Both the New Mexico and Texas Air National Guards are bringing Predator squadrons on line.  Not sure how far along they are, though.  I believe each unit will have around 30 Predators.
