How Much for that Unmanned Aerial Vehicle in the Window?
Last night, President Bush unveiled his shopping list for immigration reform. Without once mentioning the cost or a way to finance the latest splurge, Bush asked the American people to once again open up their collective wallet and pony-up the plastic for another spending spree. However, given Bush’s predilection for deficit-spending, it won’t just be the American people, but our children and grandchildren who will be footing this bill.
Some of the items on the shopping list:
- 6,000 border patrol agents
- 6,000 National Guardsmen
- border patrol missions for state and local authorities
- a temporary worker program
- "tamper-proof" work documentation employing biometric technology
- unmanned aerial vehicles
- infrared cameras
- motion sensors
- patrol roads
- barriers
