Police State Alert: U.S. Gov't Drones Being Proposed to do Border Surveillance

It started off at $2 billion, and in just one week, the requested amount almost doubles to $3.7 billion. Is our government really being charitable, or is it up to something else entirely? hen I see buzzwords like "drones," "Dept of Homeland Security," "FEMA" and other expressions along the lines of a police state in the making, I pay closer attention to the details.

The Obama administration on Tuesday announced it is asking Congress for $3.7 billion to handle the influx of undocumented children crossing into the United States from Mexico.
The funding would go to the Departments of Homeland Security (DHS), Justice (DOJ), State and Health and Human Services (HHS). It would help ramp up the detainment and proper care of undocumented migrants, speed up their court cases, step up the prosecution of criminal networks involved, and improve foreign cooperation to address the root causes of the migration.
The budget request "reflects the comprehensive nature of the government's strategy to resolve this situation in an aggressive and cost effective way," an administration official told reporters Tuesday.
