DHS shuts down surveillance blimp program at border
The Border Report ^ | September 1 | Ali Bradley

Posted on 09/04/2024 9:52:49 AM PDT by girlangler

"Agents say it’s a major tool when it comes to tracking so-called “gotaways,” people who are trying to evade detection after crossing the border between ports of entry.

"Just two years ago, DHS tethered one blimp in Nogales, Arizona, where the majority of fentanyl has been seized. Rep. Juan Ciscomani, R-Ariz., pushed back on the decision to remove what he called “critical security technology” from the U.S. border.

“Now we’re blind, not knowing what’s coming in. It’s a lot of help for us to have info,” he said. “Not just [on] immigrants that come looking for work, that come through here, terrorists will be coming through here, drugs and so forth, because they know we don’t have the technology.”

Well why stop the flow. The plan is to get them an address, buy them houses and get their votes.

DHS, FBI, and CIA are all high profile drug dealers and human traffickers.

They realized there are no conservatives or Christians in the area.

Sounds like the RATS have figured out that the blimp was causing a steep drop in the body count of Americans killed by Fentynal.

“Not just [on] immigrants that come looking for work,

And this from the mouth of someone who supposedly is on OUR side.

Who in their right mind pays coyotes thousands of dollars to be whisked across the border for the sole purpose of looking for demeaning physical LABOR in a country whose government pays handsomely in entitlements, cash, voting rights, drivers licenses, housing, food, medical care and educational vouchers to any border jumper agreeing to show up before an immigration judge (who probably hasn't been born yet) 25 or 30 years from now?

Nobody.

Mexico is now busing them up to the border at our expense so they will get here in time to vote Democrat in the November election.

We have to be the absolutely stupidest country on the face of this earth.

The crews tasked with operating the systems were told they would be called back up if funds became available in the next fiscal year, sources said.

So, the excuse is they ran out of money?!

But, they have an endless supply of money to give illegals as they cross the border?

They have an endless supply of money fly illegals in to the country?

They have endless supply of money to to put up illegals in Five Star hotels?

But I am sure that we will be told that Republicans blocked the funding for meaningful immigration reform.

Obviously the Harris Biden Administration is involved in the Fentanyl illegal drug smuggling as well as the illegal alien invasion racket.

Same as the Obama administration. It’s a Democrat Party funding source and grift racket.

What’s our Border Czar say about this?

Or TX demtard candidate for US Senate Colin Allred? He’s portraying himself as tough on the border, put up or shut up. Idiot. What exactly has this moron done about the invasion?

This year let’s elect competent people that actually love America. It’d be a nice change. Oh, and for those engaged in election fraud, a life sentence sounds like the minimum penalty to me.

Let’s all send this to Fox, CNN, ABC, CBS, PBS and see who covers it. Also ask them to ask Kamala about this.
