To move forward deploying UAVs in domestic airspace is, as a result of

federal government's complicity in bilking the American people of
millions of dollars in UAV funding is a travesty and reveals the
current lack of fiscal responsibility.

And this is different how from 50 years of history of DOD/US Govt.
activity?

The money is better spent putting more agents in the field and
implementing effective deportation policies; that's where the problems
are.

No, deportation is not the problem. INS is the problem. I don't have
any statistics on illegal immigration, but looking at all immigration,
what percentage is from Mexico? Anyone who overstays a visitor,
student or business visa becomes an illegal immigrant. I remember
a few years ago the brouha about "illegal immigrants from Canada".
And yes, I agree with you about more field agents...casual friend
of mine is a border officer, assigned to Arizona. What we hear
on the news is only a small part of what's happening.
