It's amazing to hear what the border patrol has and uses drones cameras on vehicles helicopters listening stations and all kinds of other high tech gadgets but there aren't enough of the border patrol to cover the distance they have to concentrate on the drug dealers more than the rest of the group!

A really interesting page on problems confronting people at the borders. One of them being corrupt US border guards being paid off by smugglers. www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/mexico704/video/video_index.htmlThere's also a border map to click on that shows how many illegal migrants are caught each year. It's mind-boggling. I don't see any real solution. As one of the smugglers said: " “Rafael,” the smuggler, tells Bergman he’s not worried about going out of business any time soon, due to a U.S. clampdown on the border. “The smuggling people business, the pollero business, will stop only when there are no borders,” he argues. “Unless you can stop poverty or hunger, it will never stop, because people will always want to help their families. Doesn’t matter how tall the wall is, they will just dig a hole then. So you will never stop people getting across [into] the United States.” Cheers, Pam

I was making fun of myself for being unoriginal in the drone idea.

The drone idea was researched and determined to be too expensive and not efficient in apprehending those that are crossing.
