Donald Trump used a visual image for “seal off the border.” He used a wall. He isn’t going to build a wall. He will not ask Congress for the funding. He doesn’t need to. The border can be policed by satellites and a few thousand low-cost drones. The technology is cheap. It is available now. These are cheap drones that carry no missiles. They only carry cameras. There can be night drones and day drones. They can observe what is going on for miles. Put up 1,000 drones at all times, day and night. Aim their cameras 10 or 20 … Continue reading →
