In these times, when Social Security & Medicare- for just a small example- into which many of us have paid hard-earned cash for all of our working lives- are being threatened by government spending gone amok & a 'slushy' ecomony- at best- the enormous expenditures on those resources- just fueling & flying a Blackhawk, for one example- the Predator drones & other high tech gadgets & manpower- seem bottomless. The DEA, the one agnecy that since its inception has never been shorted of funding, no matter how bad the economy, etc., is another organ of a gov't playing catch-up in a high-stakes chess game with sophisticated criminal operations w nothing but time & money to plot ways to foil Law Enforcement...& then there are just those "looking for work," & so on that pay no taxes, have children in this country that are automatic citizens, consume medical & social services that are becoming more & more strained by even those of us who ARE entitled, clog our jails & courts, & so on. I sympathize with any that seek to better their lives for themselves & their familties, & know that there are many honest, hard-working folks that are desperate to come to the US...but WE are getting desperate, too, & it saddens me that such expense & resources are consumed in seemingly endless operations...Build a fence high enough & long enough & with enough remote camera feeds & use the drones & other more efficient, less expensive efforts- just a thought..
