10,000 US troops to be sent to Mexican border

Here's another one, and this one is quite ominous as it includes rfid technology, titled: "U.S. Studies Passport Card for Canada, Mexico Trips" found here: http://signs-of-the-times.org/signs/chains/signs20061018_Amerika.php#dcb07c826af9fda4d3d7b58fd2d

The noose is getting tighter by the minute.

I recently read an article that spoke of unused, overgrown, canadien/us border crossings being cleaned up and set up with cameras to document illegal crossings into Canada. I have searched but have not been able to find the article again.

I think that the borders on both the Mexican and the Canadian side are being tightened, Canadian border patrols are now authorized to wear guns also.

Here is one article on this topic: http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4188/is_20061001/ai_n16759504

"The Boeing Co. has been awarded a three-year contract to implement the first part of what could be a multibillion-dollar plan to reduce illegal entry along the 6,000 miles of border with Canada and Mexico using better technology, including cameras, sensors and even unmanned airplanes."

What I know about these "unmanned airplanes" is that unlike a human being with conscience who might take pity firing on helpless or fleeing humans, these machines or robots would fire as long as the image of an "enemy" meets it's database criteria of what or who constitutes an enemy. I saw these machines or robotic planes in action on Nova documentary channel a few years ago, way before 911. Things are really heating up in the good ole US of A.

Yes, you wouldn't want any human emotions involved when trying to keep the vermin in their pen. So what better way than something without emotions? Gee, I was going to say so using machines would be the best way, but I just described a psychopath. Ahh, but there aren't enough psychopaths to spare, so machines are the next best option.

Actually IMO is that the really good psychopths don't want to get their hands dirty so to speak. They get others to do it for them or "machines" to do it for them, machines here meaning both the mechanically kind or the sleeping "human" kind or OP's. And when we do see a real human (the "soul" kind) is involved, there seems to be always be some sort of consequence OSIT. They either refuse to go back, or they go AWOL or they shoot up the neighbourhood or family and friends, etc.
