Passage is somewhat difficult in some areas. In others it is easy it is wide open. This amendment will help our Border Patrol cover this vast area by requiring the Department of Homeland Security to conduct a pilot program using unmanned aerial vehicles along that border. In addition to personnel training. we must also employ the latest technologies. The border patrol has already conducted successful tests using UAVs along the southwestern border in Arizona for aliens and detection of those attempting to enter our country illegally. It requires some of the UAVs already provided for in this bill be used to run a pilot program on the northern border similar to that conducted on the southern border. We do not want to compete with our friends in the Southern States. but we want to make it clear that the northern border also needs increased attention.
