#1 What border fence?

You know, that line thingy they would prefer "immigrants" to respectfully avoid crossing.

#3 Napolitano said Texas was the last Southwest border state to receive a drone because "Texas airspace is more crowded......."

.....and Arizona is now EVIL!

One UAS right, flying perhaps what....3-4 hours per day, 5 days per week max? Nice political gesture.

#6 the actual, real, fence constructed in theSan Diego sector has worked well - pushing illegals east to themountains/deserts. The latest is Panga boats loaded with 14-20 illegals motoring up the coast at night....

#7 Instapundit links to a HotAir post, in which AllahPundit writes that Arizona actually got four drones in 2006. Texas is the last state along the border to get drones, which are unarmed, for observation only.

And besides George Bush (the former Republican president who BO inherited everything bad from) is from Texas and Governor Rick Perry is a Republican. Besides Perry didn't need a drone. He shoots his own coyotes; 4-legged anyway; not 2-legged.

Are you sure about that last, JohnQC? By his own admission the governor leaves the carcasses in the desert for nature to dispose of.

#11 Just program the damn thing to own the skies and go where wills, go rogue, with a name like Predator, that's what it should be doing; it's not armed, let the politicians play catch-up.
That's not sedit!on, it's encouraging Private Enterprise.

#12 I foresee just a few small problems with airspace safety under your plan, Rhodesiafever.
