The U.S. Department of Homeland Security quietly shut down Operation Phalanx, an aerial surveillance program that intercepts drugs and illegal crossings along the Mexican border.
Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, vows to challenge DHS’s move, saying Congress provided “full funding” for 2017.
Cuellar, a member of the House Appropriations Committee and the Homeland Security Subcommittee, is drafting a letter to DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson protesting the shutdown.

Obama is sneaking something big in.
Zachary Kelly
Goddamn, we need this fucking wall built yesterday.
Julian Morales
it was ended because it was useless. The thought of having drones on the border sounds like it would catch a lot of people. But they've caught like, 6 since its been implemented. Better to cancel it, save the cash, and use it to fund a shit load more border control agents. You need boots on the ground to deport these spics. Drones would only be useful if you could send a hellfire missile up their ass.

Hi ctr
Wyatt Mitchell
Alert the police. Obama administration is letting terrorists into the country and we need someone to keep watch.
Joshua Morris
I'm not ctr. You can fly a drone around all day and even spot a few taco benders, but when the pilot reports it, nothing happens because somewhere along the chain of command they shut it down. The border is already completely fucked, this doesn't change it. You have to wait until Trump is in to fully enfore the laws.
You do know this article references a tweet they tweeted right?

First thing for Trump to reverse.
Sky King the fuck outta the border. Make the bastards invest in rocket launchers so we actually have casus belli.
Kevin Powell
got a lot of stuff to move before trump is in

It's fine. The more aliens the more job opportunities when Trump assumes the presidency.

This is Obama trying to FuckShitUp before Trump comes into office.

there are no borders, their just man made lines on a map. You cant define a person as an American when were all human.
This is why we will always win because love trumps hate!
Christian Roberts
Just because we are all humans doesn't mean we should pretend property rights don't exist.
Your argument is sound if you don't mind letting strangers walk in your front door without warning.

>Builds wall >Mexico finally gets their shit together >illegals stop flooding across >have giant expensive wall >keep paying its upkeep >whatdo
Seriously, it'd be easier for Trump to just penalize Mexico economically for every 50,000 illegals found and keep penalizing them for any more that come across, so Mexico has an economic incentive to get their shit together.
seems lulz that people want a wall to fix a problem that Mexico has to deal with.
I don't see a wall around the Canadian border, there's no influx of illegal Canadians, why? Canada has their shit together (ish)
Lincoln Reed
>penalize Mexico economically for every 50,000 illegals That would be squeezing blood from a stone.
Aiden Jackson
Literally what? >love trumps hate THEY'RE*
You do realize that a globalism is capitalism wrapped up in a "kindness" blanket, don't you? Do you really think that major corporations and governments are shilling for this is because they're inherently kind and genuinely interested in planetary well being?
If you have ever locked your car door you are a hypocrite that is openly xenophobic to anybody who is underprivileged that might need to use your car for a place to sleep or a mode of transportation.
Juan Thomas
Snowden is considered treasonous because he stole large amounts of classified information and given it to media outlets to determine what to release while admitting that he didn't know exactly what was in the documents. The USA also doesn't know what he might have stolen and who might be compromised so it probably cost not only billions of dollars, but they also now don't know which of their informants are safe, which secret programs are now known, offensive, defensive, passwords, everything could be compromised. Someone with Snowden's level had access to almost everything. It would have been a worst case scenario over there. The only thing that would be worse for them is if he had specifically sold it to rival governments. There's definitely an argument that what he exposed was important. The problem is the way he did it was so reckless and damaging to the safety of the USA he is a traitor.
Hunter Fisher
Good, then their president looks like a cunt for making their country suffer more, rather than fixing their issues, palm the problem off to them.
the Wall is literally an expensive way of the US to pay for Mexican problems, gives them a free pass to fuck themselves up more.

My inside sources have told me the following: The drones are mostly used to spy on the border patrol officers themselves. The cartels have infiltrated so far that most agents are corrupt and working for the cartels. Too busy spying on their selves to be cost effective.
Brayden Flores
This is just a last ditch effort to get as many democrat voters into the country before Trump takes office.

we really are going to have to have a civil war to sort the leftists out

really old white male here. My vote is for pardoning Snowden.
Hopefully after that, he gets the Nobel Prize for Peace
Logan Bennett
>Better to cancel it, save the cash
Oh NOW the Obongo administration is worried about saving cash, after spending 80 some-odd billion dollars on a website that didn't work for a healthcare system that doesn't work.
Angel Reyes
>that intercepts drugs
No wonder it was shut down.
Ryan Gomez
I always laughed at how small the wheel chocks are for drones. They're like something you buy at a hobby store for remote control airplanes.
David Hill
Since there is no more surveillance there, every good American living along the border should arm themselves and head to that border area. They can shoot illegals and get away with it, since no surveillance.
Jackson Edwards
>US government commits illegal acts >Someone exposes it, and they are a traitor lol, get the fuck out.
Xavier Cruz
Literally only learned he didn't know everything in the data like three months ago.
Actually considered the moron bretty brave and intelligent for years. We're fucking lucky.
Logan Long
I live in Laredo. They don't use those helicopters all that much. Most of the ones who catch people are the patrols that are roaming around in their SUVs. Even then, they're pretty lazy. Also, don't put your faith in the border patrols. Here in Laredo they've been caught selling arms to drug cartels or getting payed for letting them cross through hidden places (ranches, etc.)
Andrew Kelly
Just imagine a chem attack in Times square come New Years. Holy fuck Ameribros, goodluck.
Elijah King
I don't want it to be treason to know what the government does with your taxes. I think it should be treason to expose it to foreign entities. It would be great if we could set up a system where any natural citizen can request security clearance, pass the required steps, and have access to whatever they want. However, they should have to understand the information is classified and treat it just as any government official with access to it would or face the same penalties.
Evan Parker
This.
Mason Green
ahahhhah. Fuck this world. MAAAAGAAA!
Oliver Cooper
I was in MI in the army with a TS/SCI dealing with SIGINT, and even I and most of my colleagues think that Snowden should be pardoned. He ultimately did a service to the people and to the upholding of the Constitution, which is our top priority. The methods or intent in which he did this is irrelevant to the outcome.
It's different for morons like Manning. He should get the death penalty, but Snowden actually did something important.
Samuel Ortiz
They should just have a shit load of webcams with remote control functionality on the border.
Border control can setup a website, where users are randomly assigned to one and compete to 'catch' or 'intercept' as many illegals as they can. Turn it into a game where you compete for prizes. TOP SCORE! 295 caught!
High level unlocks let you control the tear gas launchers.
Thomas Brooks
I do not encourage this behavior.
Isaac Stewart
Time to deploy the nuclear mines. (Which are immune to nuclear mines)

They try to flood in as many mexican as possible before Trump take office.
