OpEd: Texas Doesn’t Need a Border Wall. It Needs a Drone Strategy.
· Texas Border Business
State Senators Juan 'Chuy' Hinojosa, Judith Zaffirini, and César J. Blanco argue against the construction of a border wall in Texas, citing its high cost of $2.5 billion for only 82.2 miles built. They propose investing in drone technology and a virtual security strategy instead, as cartels increasingly use drones for smuggling and surveillance. With only about 10 certified drone experts in Texas, they emphasize the need for better resources and coordination among law enforcement. The senators call for redirecting funds from wall construction to effective counter-drone measures, warning that without action, a drone attack in Texas is likely.
