SEND IN THE DRONES: PREDATORS TO FLY ABOVE TEX-MEX BORDER Tue Apr 27 2010 19:39:41 ET
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told a Senate hearing Tuesday that unmanned aerial drones will soon fly through Texas skies!
"Big Sis" declared that over the past 15 months, federal law enforcement initiatives have made the border more secure than in any other time in history, the SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS reports in Wednesday editions.
The new "predator bees" have the capability to fly at altitudes used by commercial aircraft, and are designed to enhance intelligence capabilities of federal, state and local law enforcement.
But a recent analysis of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles found that they were twice as likely to crash as manned aircraft, according to the Congressional Research Service.

What happens when the Mexican Drug Cartels shoot them down?
Obama is a Soros Drone.
“Seriously, how much can it cost to just build a wall like the one in Israel? Probably much cheaper than the health care bill will end up costing.”
I bet they could find a bunch of guys to do it for about 100 bucks, as long as they don’t tell them what it’s for.
Domestic Drone Use Ping
Seeing is not the problem. Punishing is the problem.
Until there is punishment and severe lasting pain, there will be no end.
Sounds about right to me.
I remember you from the Shamnesty threads, if I’m not mistaken!
Keep screaming that mantra of racism! No-one is saying ONLY enforce the laws against illegal Hispanics/Latinos/Mexicans. We want the laws enforced for ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS — no matter WHERE they come from!!! ESPECIALLY in regards to those numerous illegals here from terrorist sponsoring states!
I don’t know what you are talking about in reference to the “anti-Hispanic” stuff. In fact, the comment from penelopesire contains NOTHING regarding ethnicity!
I’m so tired of people accusing us of racism for wanting our borders closed and our laws enforced.
Again WHO is targeting “Hispanics”???
Unless they are armed with Hellfire missles or cluster bombs we are just p!$$!#@ in the wind.....
Me thinks this is all a diversion. Keep the people watching all the goings on in AZ and the border, meanwhile what’s going on with Blago & Co., Becks revelations yesterday, Iran/Israel/Syria and all the other big stuff. Big deal today on the hearings with Goldman Sachs. Just get the feeling this is a diversion and/or a start of something big.
I’ve been lurking here at this site since about the time you joined, then joined myself in 2004, so I have a bit of a track record at this site as well as yourself livius.
You are creating hatred of Mexicans in general in your post as a standard amongst many here at FRee Republic, and I must state that is quite a Leftist generalization if ever I read one.
I read your profile, and understand your position on this matter, but I also have read probably most of the same posts as yourself as I’m here at FR in the mornings, at lunch, and in the evenings, and visit randomly throughout the days seven days a week, and I don’t see hatred of Mexicans at FR. I see hatred of the manner of how illegal Mexicans, and persons of other nationalities, but mostly the illegal Mexicans are allowed to wantonly break our laws, and how it effects those of us that are actual citizens of this country. That is the anger within the heart and soul of the Conservative at FR as I see it. Not anger, or as you say hatred at the Mexicans in general, but those that break our laws. Illegals.
That said, I say to your post.....Stuff a sock in it.
They could build a big wall along the border, free labor. Anyone who does a bad job gets other duties away from the wall and works longer for free. Ankle bracelets. The more illegals, the faster the wall goes up.
You may be right about that... I myself said to watch for something big to be announced in Washington to prevent the Blago trial revelations from gaining legs in the media...
...and the drone operators will be instructed to direct the BP in the wrong direction...
In this congress, they are just props used to gull us rubes into thinking the fedgov is doing a damn thing about securing the border. Like the “virtual fence.”
I meant to type, “In this CONTEXT”
nothing was said about only Mexicans, but ALL illegals. It is an absolute fact that MOST illegally crossing into Arizona ARE Mexicans.
Don’t assume you know my feelings on immigration either. I don’t want illegal immigration from anywhere! But the simple fact is that Arizona, like Texas, and other border states are suffering from an invasion of people from Latin America. WE CANNOT AFFORD IT ANYMORE...period. They are taxing our systems to the max. If they are illegal..they need to go home and enter our country legally!
There is no profiling in the bill that Arizona passed. Go read it. Don’t take what others say about it as fact.
Yikes,now I’m going to have nightmares tonight.
