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.

I agree that some people go over the top now and then. They’re just blowing off steam. For several years, our tyrannical government stubbornly refused to listen to the overwhelming majority. This is actually a tame result compared to what you would see througout most any other country on earth.

I heard a guy once talk about his experience at sea. There was a man on board the ship with serious BO. Sailors hosed the guy down now and then, but the man wouldn’t take a hint. He hated showers. A squall came up, and the man ‘apparently’ fell overboard. The crew didn’t hate him — he just grated their nerves to the point that they had it with him.

That’s what’s going on here. But it’s not the smell — it’s the tyranny.

Maybe the drones could be used for ACLU lawyers to sue border guards?

“I’m so tired of people accusing us of racism for wanting our borders closed and our laws enforced.

Again WHO is targeting “Hispanics”???”

Bravo!! The race card is getting rather old, isn’t it?

These “drone” only have the ability to tell you something is happening on the ground.
You still need boots on the ground to stop the illegal activity.

AND have the political will to do something about it ... something that Team Obama and
many presidents before him have been unwilling to actually do.

oh. Obama may be learning. This is classic Clintonian. lob a cruise missle at an aspirin factory and make it look like you’re doing something.

what the hell is a couple of drones going to do

Nothing. As is intended. Surely you don't think she wants to stop illegal immigration? She wants to make sure the illegals are safe during their travels. This way they can monitor the Minutemen, etc.

Closing the border is an easy thing to do. It's politically expedient to pretend that it's difficult.

No Predator leaves Libby Air Field armed. So there is no danger to Border Guards in Arizona.

And what, may I ask, is your experience with illegals from Mexico? What will you say when Los Angeles becomes an enclave of Mexico? We are getting very close to that day, FRiend.

SO OLD!!! I’ve had it... Had MORE than enough of that back during the Shamnesty “debates” here. I’m NOT looking forward to going through that again, but I guess it’s on its way, eh?

It’s not good for the people coming here and it’s not good for the country. Let’s close the sieve and work out proper methods of immigration. We want people who are willing to work and contribute, not merely consume services.

NAIL ON HEAD RIGHT THERE

she would be using drones to look at the cops and the minute men.women.

drones will do nothing and she knows it,

bozo said he wanted to change this country and by hell he will try and do that’
even if that means asking for hispanics, blacks etc to get out and vote but ignore whites who make up this country but saying that he even said in hsi book he did not want to be a sell out and that is why he found black power groups, hispanics or his words chicano’s marxists commies etc

I said this would be a knock on effect and the rats know this and now UT is looking at a bill like AZ

Washington D.C. has turned into “Jonestown”, and the kool-aid flows like water. They’re all nuts.


No question about it - the wizards of smart are all in the kool-aid line. Beam me up Scotty!

But I thought enforcing the law at the border was racist, Nazi, and vengeful. Silly me.
