VA. out to the Armys night vision lab and their sensor lab where they actually develop this technology for use by our military in places such as Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere. What they demonstrated for me is some of the technology that is relatively inexpensive that is already being used by our military in places such as Afghanistan and Iraq that could be easily used by the Department of Homeland Security along the border. And this ranges from unmanned aerial vehicles that are airplanes. basically. with cameras on them that weigh about 10 pounds that can stay in the air for up to 4 hours at a time. which can also tie into ground sensors and cameras. thermal imagery. radar. and other things that could be used to be a force multiplier for our Border Patrol. I think what we need is a combination of things to provide that security along the border. I do not favor a 2.000mile wall. but I do not see what the objection is to using the necessary tools that are required in order to provide some chance of stopping the flow of humanity across our border.
