Don't forget the hellfires. No point in patrolling if you can't do the stopping as well. That ought to be a sight, a drone with missiles tracking you as you approach the Rio Grande. Go ahead, make my day.

Bet that would cut down on illegal immigration and drug traffic.

ACLU, my butt, El Presidente Fox, himself will complain to Bush, the UN and the Pope. The Mexicans believe that it is not appropriate for the US to take any action that prevents Mexicans from moving freely into the US.

They come here, get a job, and send money home. Fox, his friends, his family, and his party members all get a ccut of that money, now estimated at between 8-10 billion US dollars a year, not including the drug money. We must do something about the six million illegal alien criminals amomgst us. Their cost to our society is extraordinary, far, far greater than the estimates of the democrats who buy thier votes at election time.

Finding the border crossers is not such a problem as flushing them back to the sewer whence they came.
From what I read, sometimes it is a problem to get our lawmen do act.

stop incidents from occurring, or detect them the instant they occur,’ such as in cases of sabotage of water supplies or unleashing of chemical agents,

Why can no one bring themselves to say the obvious. How politically incorrect can this logical statement be.

"We want to stop illegal entry into the United States."

The following is from the "Testimony of Ben L. Anderson Jr., Col US Army Retired, submitted to U.S. Subcommittee on Criminal Justice, Drug Policy and Human Resources, March 10, 2003" held in Sells, AZ that Mr. Shadegg attended.

Basic suggested concepts include, but are not limited to -
 
The security of the U.S. border should be accomplished with a combination of Border Patrol, selected regular Military, National Guard & Reserve and a little innovation.
 
The Border Patrol should apprehend, process and repatriate illegal aliens in accordance with their mission.
 
The National Guard & Reserves assume those logistic and maintenance functions  (transportation – truck and bus driving, vehicle maintenance, communications and administrative tasks, house keeping tasks, etc.) to free up Border Patrol personnel to concentrate on their basic mission.
 
The regular military provides high tech reconnaissance, surveillance & scouting with manned aircraft and UAVs, monitoring of remote areas, air-lift, and selected units to secure remote areas of the border.  The border mission will provide an excellent training opportunity.   Most importantly, the border mission is a national security mission.  
 
Some more innovative concepts include - 
 
1. Ultra-light aircraft.   Ultra-light aircraft would be appropriate for daytime missions.  Ultra-lights are inexpensive (cost less than current Border Patrol SUVs), low maintenance, require only limited training (do not require an FAA pilots license), and fly low & slow allowing for excellent tracking of illegal activity.  They can be either single or double occupant and would allow for a dedicated pilot and tracker.  They are available for purchase in Arizona.
 
2. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).  UAVs that are in the current inventory provide the nighttime continuation of the daytime mission, yet with advanced high-tech all-weather and limited visibility sensors to acquire and track infiltrating illegal movement.  
 
Both ultra-lights and UAVs can complement each other with reverse cycle maintenance: Ultra-light maintenance at night and UAV maintenance during the day.   All UAVs would be stationed and operate from Ft. Huachuca.  Ultra-lights would be ground transported to the area of use.  State of the art light-weight high-tech communications and position locating systems can be easily installed in proposed ultra-light.
 

3. Native American Border Patrol Augmentation.   A dedicated Native American Border Patrol augmentation would be an excellent way of capitalizing the unique and honored traditional skills of our Native American citizens.  Their time honored skills at tracking and outdoor skills can be tapped to the nation’s advantage. They should be employed as trackers working in conjunction with US military, Border Patrol, ultra-lights and UAVs.  A military occupation specialty (MOS) type training program could provide structure to the concept.  Entrusting them with our national borders would be a compliment to their heritage along the line of the “Code Talkers” of WW II.  A name for consideration would be “Border Stalkers”.  It might be that this new opportunity would provide a needed and well-deserved niche for the Native American community beyond what is currently available.  Currently such a concept is in place with the “Shadow Wolves” of the U.S. Customs Service on the Tohono O'Odham Reservation in southern Arizona.
The Shadow Wolves unit is composed solely of Native Americans of Blackfoot, Cheyenne and Pima tribes who are known for their uncanny ability to track aliens and the drugs they may carry.

Comments from Ben Anderson:

Shadagg is a fake.
 
He does NOT support the Military on the border.  He is one of the "Cheap Labor" crowd.
 
Talks out of both sides of his mouth.
 
This is a very safe stance for him.
 
It would be nice if it happened
 
Question is --- Why has it not happened long ago?
 
Consider the fact that Ft. Huachuca is the test bed location for UAVs and is itself being overrun by Illegal Aliens.
 
Ft. Huachuca is right on the border and in Cochise County --- the perfect location for testing and operations.
 
Something fishy here ....

UAV's can't make arrests. We need people on the ground enforcing laws already in place - or at least someone somewhere who's willing to act on whatever pictures the UAV's send back. Any sign of a political will to do these very basic things?
