They may say they are getting them to watch the border, but they will be used against us.

Amen to that! And if Canada and Mexico want to do the same thing on *their* side of the border I'd have no problem with that.If you enter *any* country in violation of its immigration/entry requirements you should be prepared to die.

Unless they’re armed, its a waste of time and money.

"...any advancement of the idea would be up to Mexican government officials."

Until US citizens are allowed to buy Mexican property (to build a Free State), I say, FU Mexico.

Definitely. Who do you think they care more about violating the law?

/sarc Yeah..like that will work.
“Hey Jose, we are gonna stop crossing the border because some plane is flying far above us, and will never fire on us.
When did planes in any skies ever stop illegals from crossing any border anywhere?
Just build the darn wall. Every bloody inch across the border. A strong, super fortified, unscalable { incapable of being ascended. unclimbable} wall. Its easy enough to do. India was able to do it and virtually stop illegals streaming in from Bangladesh.
"planes in the skies" nonsense is yet another red herring. In reality, 0bozo wants as many Mexican illegals here as possible, so he can use them to steal the elections in 2012.

I was just thinking that.

Who knows what data they will gather, and how the data will be used?

Of course, such information is probably classified.

If they are to monitor objects and living things heading from the US to Mexico, the job should be easy.

All that will accomplish is a more accurate count of how many are crossing the porous border. I guess we can add them to our census count for the Lone Star State and increase our congressional apportionment.

But there are still a lot of sovereignty issues, Cuellar added, so any advancement of the idea would be up to Mexican government officials.

Why? The mexican government officials don't give a rat's @$$ about our sovereignty issues when they print "how-to" manuals to help their citizens invade our country.
