McCain: Finds a way to weaponize the border-"We need border drones to get a deal on immigration"

Sen. McCain: We need border drones to get a deal on immigration reforms
By Justin Sink - 01/28/13 05:57 PM ET

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Monday that he would like to see the implementation of high-tech border solutions — including drone aircraft — as part of a comprehensive immigration reform deal.

"A pre-condition is secure borders, and we have not done that," McCain told Fox News on Monday. "Now our borders are more secure, but they are by no means secure. In Arizona, the Sonora border is the major drug trafficking route for the drug cartels bringing drugs into the United States."


McCain went on to say that securing the borders was a necessity before the country could "move on with this issue."

"We have to use a lot of high-tech — we’ve got to use drones, we’ve got to do a lot of things to get that border secure, but that must be done," McCain said.
