More news for southern border:

http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/inside-politics/2013/jan/28/new-border-security-relies-drones/

When you are under a budget crunch, why would you cancel the TARS program just to replace it with much more expensive HTA?

""Our legislation will increase the number of unmanned aerial vehicles," the senators said in their framework, saying they also hope to boost border patrol agents and surveillance equipment."

"And the Homeland Security Department's inspector general has reported that U.S. Customs and Border Protection's current drone program is chaotic and the agency can't keep its drones flying at the rate it had promised.

The agency didn't even budget for enough maintenance money to repair broken drones."
