President-elect Donald Trump's transition team asked the Department of Homeland Security about an aerial surveillance program along the southern border that was scaled back by the Obama administration, Reuters is reporting.
The program, Operation Phalanx, deployed as many as 6,000 National Guard airmen to monitor for drug trafficking and illegal immigration during President George W. Bush’s administration.
The Trump team's inquiry was part of a wide-ranging request for documents and analysis looking into the viability of a border wall and barrier construction.

Double border fence porn. This is most likely what the border wall will look like.
Robert Sanders
We should cooperate with Trump's plan of making the border impregnable.
Trump is a real-state man, ¿how do they operate?, they have a house they want to sell, let say it is worth 1mil by itself. The real-state man will say to the buyer, "it goes for 4mil" knowing that he won't get that much, that he is exaggerating, but also that the buyer will negotiate. the buyer will say "I will give you 500k" knowing the house is worth more.
The real-state man won't get 4mil, the buyer won't pay 500k, but if the real-state man is the better negotiator he will get 2mil, if the buyer is the better negotiator he will pay 1.2mil.
¿See where i'm going?
Trump does not expect us to o pay for a yuge wall with machine guns and detectors; He wants our government to negotiate with him for solution to the border problems.
Plural, problems. You know the problems you have in the US I will not mention those, but I agree that they exist and should be solved.
Our border problems are derived from the entrance of enormous amounts of money and weapons that end up in the hand of the Cartels. The Cartels are the biggest treat to Mexico right now, making the border impossible to penetrate without supervision would make it impossible for the Cartels to get their profits and weapons, thus weakening them substantially.
Making the border impregnable would solve most border problems for both countries, it just has to be done in a more cost effective way than to build a 30 meters wall with high tech detectors and machine gun emplacements all along the borderline.
I would keep the high tech detectors however, the cartels often dig tunnels

More fence porn

Very astute post, Mexibro

Minefields would be the most cost-effective solution but they are frowned upon.

Goly fug AMERICA NO!!

Damn, I wanted wall like Saudi Arabia, one that as deep as is tall.

Too bad it cannot stop drones or narco subs. Arent most of the drugs smuggled within apparently legal transports? Those always go through checkpoints.
Christian Howard
You're paying for the wall cholo
Christian Diaz
"Pass the money and your dick through the hole, papi"
Julian Murphy
Those are good for getting the drugs in but not for getting the money out. Weapons are too heavy for drones and I don't think that their makeshift subs could take the weight either.
Landon Bennett
Nice!
Joshua Bennett
It's Real estate
You're paying for the wall
We don't care about your cartels, people only voted for it because they don't want your smelly kind
Literally we don't care if you still get beheaded just don't skip the border
Narcos was cool, why doesn't Mexico have anything like Narcos? Why are you just a shit Colombia?
Ian Cruz
>Narcos was cool, why doesn't Mexico have anything like Narcos?
The government is trying to suppress any form of media that portraits cartels in a positive light, so the state controlled media (all of the media that is) won't produce shows like that.
Colton Allen
Can any american explain to me why you dont use drones at your border, it seams to me that it would be less expensive than having a border patrol detachment every 5km, if it detecs someone jumping you just sent border patrol or police in extreme cases os drug dealers.
Blake Turner
Is that only for Mexican TV ? I'm curious because I know that telemundo has all types of pro narco programs on their channel, But I'm also aware that they have studios over here where they are protected by our amendments.
Nolan Smith
Why don't you take care of your Zika problem, and better your sanitation infrastructure.
Jaxon Peterson
>Can any american explain to me why you dont use drones at your border
This is still a possibility.
There have been previous attempts at high-tech Mexican walls before, but they failed because the companies that were contracted to develop them sucked in tons of money and produced nothing of value in return.
Joseph Perez
>Is that only for Mexican TV? Yes, telemundo is not a Mexican network, and has a very small audience in Mexico, It's target audience is central and south americans, but mostly it is directed towards "hispanics" in the US.

Bye Bye California.

It should be 30 ft tall with steel beams and tons of razor wire and electric cable fence.
Ryan Sanchez
The only thing Trump needs to accomplish during his 4 years is the wall.
Now hopefully we can boot the liberals out of power because a lot of third-worlders will come here and perhaps try to go to the USA from Canada.
Wyatt Perry
This. Border police used to have a shoot to kill order until they became pussies under weak administration
Josiah Jenkins
>implying border agents aren't corrupt as fuck and get paid thousands of dlls I'm cash to turn a blind eye.
Luke Reed
More fence porn. Modify suitably to keep people out rather than in.
Jacob Walker
Amusingly, Sup Forums has completely overlooked one of the most surprising details regarding Trump's latest border plans.
He has been enquiring into a northern fence as well. Lol, Day of the Rake indeed!
Andrew Diaz
You are correct We would still build the wall though. And put machine guns on it. And rockets too. And bullet train.
Nicholas Green
I hope so. Canada is going to be our downfall with all the ME coming in the northern border
Luis Thomas
Why don't you take care of your country problem with the spastic colon so you stop that unexpected fecal release at the supermarkets, it's embarrassing, not even pajet does that
Ethan Sullivan
Have a you for such a balanced and honest post. Refreshing.
Hudson Robinson
Do they do documentaries or really regular reporting on them or anything? I think the most horrifying gore video I've ever seen was produced by them. Jokes aside, I really hope something gets those monsters under control, they're fucking evil.
