The Aerostat program has long provided real time feeds to Border Patrol CBP. Aerostat is being expanded under CBP's increased technology funding, but the program has always had a vulnerability to weather conditions, like high winds.
Imagine a large blimp at 10 thousand feet with radar, live video feed and thermal video....oh wait, we already have this... one blimp covers hundreds of square miles....so why does the border patrol not get this real time info..... because the military is not allowed to give this info to the border patrol.... classified and all....now imagine if Trump allowed this info to be passed on in real time....
i.e. we could easily control the borders if we felt a strong enough need.
Personally, I would like to see it patrolled by A-10’s. But that’s just me. :)

Gives us your estimate of how effective that concept would be with the caravans of thousands of people?
