More BS from the ‘rats. A drone is only as good as its programmer - what if the programmers are deep state? Obviously drones will not work - they could be a tool along with the wall but that is it.

Drones are consistent)y shot down by smugglers. Drones are used to watch BP and to transport drugs and even people.

A wall is permanent, therefore cheaper. A one time cost, other than maintenance.

Anything else, the next president can pull the funding

The devil is in the details. We all know that walls can be climbed over or tunneled under, and aince $5.7B won’t complete the border it will also drive traffic to other areas. A serious beef-up in border security to include multiple forms of electronic monitoring, fencing/walls near population centers, and the deployment of more rapid response security forces might be a good compromise. You could even include more “doors” and detention centers for those willing to formally request asylum (instead of trying to sneak in), along with the staff to process them and the tools to return those who are not accepted. Drones alone won’t do it. But a combination of tactics and techniques to push traffic into areas where it can be interdicted may be fair if it’s the right combination. Trump always said it won’t be 100% wall - he said some wall, some electronic, some manned areas.

It’s much more than that problem, the physical barrier is essential. The best electronic surveillance imaginable still cannot physically stop the illegals from crossing the border, and once they are in our country the legal morass and fiscal expense they will cause is outrageous.

We must have The Wall to keep illegals from crossing into our country.

No to just drones. I want something, an edifice, that makes it clear that we are trying to protect our people now and after DJT leaves office. Walls give comfort and Security, that is why Nancy Pelosi, Obama, and the other democrats have walls around their properties. My fellow Americans deserve that security, that attempt at security.

The Dems want a porous border, so therefore they want something that doesn’t work

The Fraud’s drone managed to deliver itself to his terrorist BFFs in Iran.

Let’s start with the rats trying to turn border security into the police department. Nothing they will propose will stop an illegal crossing. The technology will just report in real time that someone has crossed.

It’s like being murdered. Police will arrive at the scene after the crime has been reported.

Can we arm the drones and shoot when someone tries to come over the border through an undesignated location?

If Trump counters with that he should get his wall.

So they have drones only to cut them when they get power. With a wall it is much harder to get rid of it.
