Threats to the southern border have taken a new unexpected dimension. The Washington Examiner reports:
As the political clash over the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy has played out on the U.S.-Mexico border, hovering above is the growing presence of drones.
These small unmanned aircraft systems are piloted by multiple interests — drug traffickers looking for a way into the country, the U.S. government trying to keep them out, and even journalists hoping to get a new point of view on an issue that has gripped headlines for weeks.
U.S. Customs and Border Patrol has increasingly invested in anti-drone technologies as well as their own patrol aircraft.
In fiscal 2018, as of March 26, there have been 36 reports of small drone, or small unmanned aircraft system, sightings to the Air and Marine Operations Center along the U.S.-Mexico Border, Jennifer Gabris, a spokesperson for the CBP office of public affairs, told the Washington Examiner via email. By comparison, there were only 19 reports in all of fiscal 2017.
New threats at the border are just another reason why the border has to be strengthened.
Border Patrol should shut there drones off, hit the area with a sonic blast or something to crash the other electronics, then relaunch their own, and get to work. That would by them at least a little time to work without interference from enemies on either side. And yes, these days, the main stream media has become the enemy of America.
I’ve proposed building a 10 to 25 mile wide, 24 hour a day, seven days a week, live fire military training reservation along the US/Mexico border from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean at San Diego. And, if Mexico complains, build it on their side. It should be called the General John “Black Jack” Pershing Military Reservation. Why? “In 1916 Pancho Villa and his bandido’s raided the town of Columbus, New Mexico, and in response President Woodrow Wilson sent General John “Black Jack” Pershing into Mexico after him. Back then, American authorities at least did something when the border was violated.”

I believe that we are being invaded by our southern border and therefore a war action s warranted. I also agree that we, being attacked from the South not only by Mexico, but terrorists looking for a way into our country to do their terrorist acts in America. I therefore believe that I and any other citizen that see’s this as an attack on America should use any means that we see fit to use to protect our country. I see comments that we should use firearms to do that. I have an even better solution. Lets just charge our fence with electricity. It would only take a couple of times that the invasion would stop. That’s my opinion. Toast.
“I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials.” George Mason, in Debates in Virginia Convention on Ratification of the Constitution, Elliot, Vol. 3, June 16, 1788
Bravo…..I’ve said the electric fence thing many, many times!
Nothing that a 12 gauge with a full choke can’t handle. Send in the duck hunters for a $20 tag.
Good answer!! I am not a gun owner, but your comment matches my first thoughts on the matter: BLOW THEM AWAY!!!
Call it the “Biden Solution”.
Simple….shoot drones out of the sky and shoot anyone coming across America’s border thats not coming in legal. It don’t take a law degree, just common sense to know how to protect the American People and our country….War is War. What part do you not understand…. they have to be stopped with force
jo trouble is then the person who fires is prosecuted and sent to prison. A Border Patrol guy is currently in prison for firing and killing an illegal. Now they can fire on Border Patrol with impunity. Sometimes I think we are just nuts.
I’m sure that we have drones capable of shooting other drones out of the air, time to use them!!!
As I recall, France and perhaps a few other countries have been training falcons and other raptors to take out drones. Safe, effective, environmentally friendly ( excuse the airborne poop) and a hell of a lot less dangerous than having an array of people firing a variety of rounds into the air and having no idea where those rounds will end up.
Shooting drones out of the sky…..Consider it skeet shooting practice….lol
NO, this is not NEW. I’ll take credit for sending warnings to congressmen, senators, even to the Joint Chiefs 4 years ago. This is much more serious than is mentioned here. These drones are being manufactured in size and strength capable of carrying a good sized explosive payload. When only aircraft were available to carry “bombs” nations developed missiles to bring them down. When missiles were developed anti missiles were developed to bring the striking missile down. Now it has become necessary to develop a missile to bring down drones. Another arms race I guess. But it will happen in the not too distant future that a drone carrying an explosive will hit one or more of the “Border” cities, the explosive manufactured outside the U S and then flown into the cities by those mentioned drones.
Anyone with half a brain recognizes the danger of drones with explosives, which leaves out Liberals. I consider sports stadiums to be the prime targets–maximum human density, maximum terror against cultural treasures (especially school stadiums).
Insofar as drones, that is an easy problem to solve, just let border patrol agents and ranchers use them for target practice. It would be much more enjoyable than skeet shooting.
Want Mexico top pay for the wall? SIMPLE! Just charge a 10% fee (tax) on ALL money sent out of the country! With all the wetbacks sending money home, 10% of that will get the wall built in no time!
They are not all wetbacks. My friend had a raft.
Our government could put a bounty on drowns coming over the border fence. Since the fence passes through private ranches and farmlands, the ranchers and farmers could pick up some money from the government . Say $1,000 per drone .
build the wall that will keep out the drones. i guess it won’t keep out anything will it.fake news
Don’t be ridiculous. A wall will keep plenty of people out. Those that make it through should be shot on site. You are a fool
If you have a fence around your property and a drug lord comes over it I would suggest you shoot it.
Declare the wall area no air traffic of any kind if they fly over it shoot them down. cartel’s should be caught and jailed. If the drugs are so wonderful let the Mexican’s purchase them, not the USA citizens . And anyone climbing on the wall needs to be shoot also. We don’t want any illegals here. they made the choice to come here, if they get separated the ones who came need to pay to go back home, and taek kids too. no wanted. Love them but come here legally. Our tax money should not have to care or transport you anywhere. maybe new law should be if you come illegally, you and family are shot., that should make them think twice about crossing over the boarder, or climbing the wall.
Drones would make great target practice. Open the area for shooting ranges this would make for a very interesting solution.
Drones must be controlled by a person. Send a small missile to follow the beam back to its source. Make operating a drone a suicide mission.
I’ve got an idea, since Mexico has pretty much declared that they have a right to enter our country and we have no right to seal our own border. We should start pushing our border 5 miles into Mexico every day until they decided that they will build that wall after all. Just see how long it takes for them to make that decision. If we are paying for the country to exist, we should own it.
Jeez that has me pissed that I din’t think about this first. Great idea.!!!
Excellent idea! You have a great grip on what should be done. When we own all of mexico we can build a wall on their/our southern border. A crap load of American money ends up there anyway. I lost 2 jobs to that country. After we own it we should burn it and send all refugees south. 🙂
Mexico is a crime infested shithole.
We don’t want that.
Eliminate the sanctuary states and cities.Stop giving them govt subsidies. Prosecute the gov and mayors and any one else that refuses to follow the rule of law. Stop the freebies to the illegals .Stop giving them rent subsidy, Free medical, drivers licenses and the ability to vote and other stuff We don’t qualify for. . No freebies. They will nearly stop coming into this country illegal. Then that will save far more of our money in one year than the wall will cost to complete. We do not have to change this country because someone believes in stuff we don’t, .We should not have to print ballots and school papers in a half dozen languages.
Absolutely CORRECT. If these idiots believe in open boarders, then they should move to Mexico or Europe where they all believe in socialism and open boarders, then they should all be happy… once they’re all gone the rest of us will be very happy. They should sign a contract that they will never return to USA
Agreed, but will the government listen?
mousekiller
Please send me any official information from any state that says the illegals are costing them anything or that illegals are getting freebees as you say. Now to get what you call freebees, since 2013 you have had to prove Citizenship to get any Social Services, now your rent subsidies are under Social Services as is this free medical.
Now on to the good stuff, The Government Accountability office under Trump says the same thing most economist in this USA say that the illegals add over $500 BILLION to the economy every year and that does not include the SS and IRS moneys they pay in which they can not get back, then there is property tax, yes about 12% own homes and businesses which hire other persons, then there is all the other taxes on stuff they buy just like the citizens pay when they buy.
Now any tourist can get a Drivers License, but not one that can be used for anything but driving a vehicle, you have to have a Federal qualifying drivers license or a birth Certificate to register to vote. Now there are many citizens who do not speak the American language. A Sargent I was stationed with at Dover AFB in Delaware in 1965 has a Spanish wife from Spain and to this day she refuses to speak anything but her native Spain’s language and there are many others when I was growing up back in the early 1940s I learned some of the parts of Slovic languages spoken in New York because they all spoke their native language, but many volunteered to join the service and fight in WWII and a good number never came back home, so you can not say they were not patriotic.
This Country would have to pass an amendment to the Constitution to make a what Americans speak a National language and I doubt it would get approved.
Look it up twat waffle! The information is out there. California pays billions every year. They don’t tell the whole story to their tax payers. Pull your head out.
The Real coming threat is when a million or more invaders group on t6he border, then cross it all at once. What are we going to do then? Build the Wall-as quickly as possible. Use a good design like the Israeli Wall!
TO SOLVE AMERICAS PROBLEMS MAKE THIS CHOICE WE THE PEOPLE’ HAVE THE POWER OF OUR VOICES AND OUR VOTES, TO VOTE OUT THE ENTIRE LYING,CORRUPT, TREASONOUS DEMOCRAT PARTY COME NOV 2018, VOTE TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AND TO END ALL CORRUPTIONS IN WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT
‘we the people’ have been way to complacent. It is time WE stand up to the communists trying to take over our country. It is war now, and the damn Judges that defy President Trump on every thing he attempts, and the bastard politicians on the left who are no better, should be locked up. Most are treasonous. My country is my home and I do not like trespassers coming in. Migrants, my a**, they are trespassing and are illegals. It we don’t take a strong stand NOW, it will be too late. I pray it isn’t already.
So right!!!
yes and we have new ones running on the rep. party that are just like John Mc Cain and House Speaker and several others. There’s really not a lot of difference. We need to get new patriot parties and get rid of the donkey’s and the elephants! otherwise it will continue to be more of the same in our states and congress!
While you’re at it, vote out the RINOS and Repubs on the take or who are corrupt. We need an almost clean slate!
BRENDA N TEXAS
It does seem that what you call as we the people is about 40% not even close to a majority to vote anyone out.
For your information America has always been great and well thought of until Trump took office.
I guess ole bob is a liberal douche bag . I smell a rotten robert fish . MAGA
Jed A. Peeler
Now just how long would Americans approve of the people crossing the border being shot, the World is against Israel for just that. As a matter of interest Israel which is no bigger than New Jersey has 69,000 illegal immigrants it is trying to deport.
Just one more question, just which wall in history stopped anyone who wanted on the other side. I can give you a quick answer, No wall stops anything but law abiding people.
Sounds like great moving targets, a .22 rifle and have some fun, as long as you shoot toward Mexico so you don’t accidently shoot any Americans, or drop bullets on American heads.
Great idea a 22 or a 30 30 Lever action with a scope. That would beat any old target practice when you could have a moving target.
You have that right.
Sounds like a job for a good 12 gauge.
EXACTLY. U.S. AUTHORIZED TO TERMINATE DRONES ID’D AS THE BAD GUYS IN AMERICAN SPACE WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE. USE OUR LASER WEAPONS. THEY’LL NEVER KNOW WHAT HIT THEM.
MAKE CROSSING OUR BORDERS ILLEGALLY THE FIRT TIME A FELONY,….. PROBLEM SOLVED
Make illegal border crossings a capitol offense when repeat offenses first time should get the person immediately returned across the border within 5 min.
Much cheaper to blow their brains out when and where ever you find an illegal They are all criminal invaders. Anyone caught giving them any form of aide and comfort or doing any business with them needs to be dragged out and hanged for being a traitor to the USA and is guilty of treason needing to be put to death when caught helping these criminal invaders.
Deanne is spot on. I would only add that we take a q-tip swab and no individual with that DNA or their family ever be allowed to apply for Green card or any other type of entry.
insert radio tracking devices into them that will trip a alarm when they get close to border
Right on Ron
America is being invaded by illegal aliens? just cross the border – no border, no country. I wonder if there is civil war or foreign invasion in their countries.
Since We have been in a constant War since 9/11 and the deamoncrats refuse to finance A REAL WALL; President Trump needs to send Our Military to the Border with Mexico and put an immediate end to the disgrace of allowing foreign invaders to “tie up” Our court system. Do not let Them in in the 1st place.
fully agree
A wall would also clear the air. Any drones would be shot down. We need to clear the congress of these democrats/RINOs so the border can be stabilized. And these sanctuary nuts can be put in a p;ace that makes American families safe. Some people do illegal things. Crime is breaking the ;aw while sin is breaking, a Commandments. Breaking and entering into a nation or a bldg is a crime. Creating sanctuary places is aiding and abetting criminals. also a crime.
There’s probably not an invasion in Mexico since the build a wall on their southern border,
no wall on south side of mexaico they are talking about puting one up now
The US military should give a contract for research into building a smart radar gun aimer for tracking and shooting down drug dealers’ drones once they cross into US territory. That will surely thwart their efforts.
They already have anti-drone weapons.
Liberation of Jerusalem from Arab and Islamic colonialism to be eternal capital of Israel
Depends on the release of my genes and Jewish identity, legal and personal from the Moroccan state and the Arab and Islamic countries
Complaint N 94/2017 Lawyers in Casablanca Concerning conspiracy and violation of the ethics of the profession
On 29/06/2017, which coincided with the anniversary of the founding of the World Congress of Jews
Against the lawyer who was appointed to defend me before the Hebrew Chamber
To define the Jewish, legal and personal identity
The Descendant of King David Dynasty, Who Ruled Jerusalem, on behalf of the Jewish people from a thousand cyme BC
To the congress of the world Jews
And to the support committee of the American president Mr. Trump
And to Israeli electronic and written journalists
Believe it or not
Image to my mother Mrs Zahra daughter of Bouchaib Ben Bozakari, who grew in 1917
According to information reached by recent reports that the Bozakari family was one of the largest Jewish families in Morocco, and not only in Casablanca
Why were they persecuting my mother without the others
Here I knew why everyone hides the truth when I ran away from the hell of Safi immediately after my success in the primary school certificate
Here I knew why all the members of the family my mother were against me, when I was young man not to install in Casablanca
Here I knew how was inaugurated the tuteure and I in prison insulted the Moroccan holy places in 2007
Based on the use of documents from my precious mother 2007
And when I say that I was born in my time. I say, because I am sure of the credibility of my words
And when I say that I am the first of the others to defend the star of my ancestors and of Jerusalem, and the history of my ancestors I have said about sincerity and conviction and
And not for love of money and sex because my case is much bigger than their bank accounts and chairs because it is problem of the people
And when I say everyone who stands against me will reap the trouble
I said, because I am sure to destroy the French movement Alsaianim sooner or later
For a good reason, Israel no longer needs and does not need dual spies
Due to the emergence of new evidence about my Jewish identity, which embodies the biological and legal ties of the Jewish people to Jerusalem, the eternal capital of Israel
I hope that the friendly countries of the Jewish people and Israel, with which biological links
What they are transferring their embassy to Jerusalem
I wonder how the biggest country in the world has not dared to move its embassy to Jerusalem, as promised by Mr. Trump in the US election
And as if it is not convinced of the state of the Jewish people and their right to the liberation of Arab and Islamic colonialism
Or they want to win the sympathy of the Arabs and the Islamists at the expense of the suffering of the Jewish people
Together for the liberation of Israel from Arab and Islamic colonization
In response to the statement of the State Foreign Ministry called Balustein
As for the situation in Jerusalem, feeding on the grounds that history and law confirms the legitimacy of the Jews on the Temple that was built by my ancestors of their own money
I just want the world to answer my question
Who is the ancient historical and religious and legal
The temple that built by my ancestors or the dome, which was built on the temple
Ladies and gentlemen
The only solution to end the artificial conflict between Jews and Arabs and Islamists
Achieving lasting and comprehensive peace
The granting of autonomy to Blstein
And give them the same privileges as the Jews
And the separation of the dome on temple
Because my genes belong to the dynasty of King David, who ruled Jerusalem on behalf of the Jewish people of a thousand years BC
On the ground that the biological identity that defines the legal identity that embodies the person’s personal identity – male or female –
In accordance with the principles of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Paris Principles approved by the United Nations
Because biological mention and phenotype of blood group
Which determines the biological identity of the person from father to grandfather
According to the science of genetics and Jewish genealogy
Blood group / O +
Phenotype / CCDee
Mention Biological / K-
And not belief, language, color or geographical affiliation that determines the biological identity of man
Crazy a s a jailhouse ret
What?
Declare it a no fly zone for civilian drones. Give notice that drones in the zone will be destroyed. We must have a secure boarder for national security and to stop criminal activity.

There is only one way to stop the illegal immigration. Increase and enforce the fine for employers and enablers of illegals.
I posted something like this before. Just a three or four strand of barbed wire fence with signs in the different languages saying “This is the U S Border. If you cross illegally you will be shot”. I don’t believe in killing anybody. But a good blistering would get the message across. This INVASION has become beyond serious. We don’t know who these people are and as a three time combat vet I have seen the using of children on the front lines. There’s no way of knowing how many terrorist and gang members are entering our nation along with all the others. The illegals are not citizens and they are NOT entitled to the protection of a court hearing under OUR laws. If we are to accept that method they have already broken our laws when they cross. There is NO trespass proof fence that will keep them out. They will figure out a way around, over, or under it. The illegals must be shown that this nation is serious about immigration. You either come legally or you DON’T come at all.
I cannot dispute all you say, but I think we have tried about everything possible except shooting them. I think half a dozen might send the message but just wait for the screams over the first. Then the shooter will be tried and executed because all lives are precious, some more precious than Americans. Meantime the illegals are crossing like I have never seen before. Me, plain ole citizen, I am telling you they are coming by the hundreds every day. The lie is they are slowing. Meantime my school district is building 5 new schools for the coming year. There go my property taxes.
We could use rock salt. Won’t kill but hurt like check.
Or buck shot and they won’t be around to try it again.
Make drones along the border open season for hunters and offer a bounty. Wonder what a drone looks like blasted to hell with a 12 gauge shotgun!?
The military should own the first half mile of the border. turn it into a multi service base everybody has to rotate to shore duty. all services would rotate in for hitches on the border. problem solved. Allow any discharging service members that wish it to finish their 20 on the border. Who knows lots of them may like it and stay for good.
I also think that we could increase ICE and the border patrol agents by about 30,000 more agents more for both. Leave the military and part of ICE on the border to do what they do, but the military can go out and capture the illegals then bring them back to ICE to deport. No one get’s in in my plan. NO one crosses the border at all or just barely then picked up by our military. Then ICE takes over to deport all of them. Then the other part of ICE can fan out across the country and pick up any more illegals and dreamers that they can find and deport all of them too. The money saved by their deportation could pay for the reconstruction of the wall and all the deportations. It costs about $34 K to keep the illegals here per person per year, I have read. By all of them or most of them leaving our government would save millions at least. Multiply that by all of the millions of illegals in our country that are here, and that’s a ton of money. The illegals have to go and the influx of people coming in must stop., SEAL OFF THE BORDER TONIGHT. If I can figure this out, why can’t someone from the government ?
Good idea. Many returning veterans don’t have jobs. Trained.
EXACTLY! I’ve been supporting that action for awhile! WHY aren’t our military forces being used to defend our border??? It makes perfect sense to me! We ARE being “invaded” and we know WHERE the biggest area of entry is! It would make perfect sense to post our military along the border from every state that the border runs alongside our country. We DON’T necessarily need to use “bullets” and kill them, but there are MANY other forms of defense that are just as intimidating & fearful. We would only shoot firearms IF necessary. Of course, we DON’T want to start a war with Mexico, but Mexico will NOT cooperate with us on stopping this invasion. The border between Guatemala & Mexico is HEAVILY guarded & protected & NOT by “intimidation”! They SHOOT to kill! Most of these “invaders” are NOT Mexicans for the most part.
Lots of dead bodies would send a great message. Outsiders, stay off our lawn.
Here is a thought, Our Military is always in need of training, our boarders are always in need of protection, so as the saying goes, lest kill two birds with one stone.
Our Drone Pilots need training, position them near the boarder and use our drones to locate and identify anyone crossing the boarder If it appears that the invader is hostile, by that I mean a large number of men with large back packs and of course if any weapons are visible, they automatically become targets.
Our Snipers need training on Live Targets, position them two to three hundred yards back from the boarder. Upon being notified by the Drones that there is a threat the Spotters who also need training will locate the target and the sniper will take out the hostile target.
Since we are a caring and sympathetic nation we should also provide training for our Medics, once the hostile target has been neutralized the Medics can be brought in to provide aid to any survivors.
Since much of the land along the boarder is owned by individuals, we should get their permission to protect their land and privacy, so any drones that are detected coming from Mexico and crossing onto privet land will be shot down, with the land owner’s permission.
As long as all target neutralization takes place on US Soil or US Air Space Mexico has nothing to say about it.
I is obvious that the threat of jail time is not a deterrent to the drug cartels perhaps the very real threat of being eliminated might be.
Also since the Military already has a budget for training there would be very little if any additional cost.
I suggested drones with hell fire missiles over a year ago. if they are headed north turn them to ash. ICE and border patrol would carry transponders indicating friend.
That is a very good plan. Wish they would put it to some use.
How can I forward this???
Good idea. Many returning veterans don’t have jobs. Trained.
Barbie. Upper right corner 3 dots. Click. Share.
sounds like a sure winner to me. get it going.
There you go!
Sorry Tony, but it’s BORDER, no a.
Shoot them all down, -0- tolerance.
What if they are ICE?
ICE won’t be coming North from Mexico, without notifying Air and Marine Operations Center along the U.S.-Mexico Border. Otherwise, kill them all and let God sort them out!
You must be a Marine
THROW THESE UPSARTS OUT OF OUR COUNTRY — N O W !!!
12 , 16 , or , 20 gauge will take care of these border crossing artificial gamebirds !
It’s called skeet. Bring your shotgun!
The answer is – Build that wall!
Agree 100%.
I agree about building the Wall.
A wall is not needed. Just place giant bill boards of Maxine water’s face every fifty yards along the border. That will scare illegals away.
That is funny but it would work.
I agree we need that wall and sharp shooters should take down these fence climbers. It would only take a few and they would get the message.
