Poor-duh Batrol. Worst. Headline. Ever.

From today's Age:

Border agents play high-tech game.

Heat-sensing
cameras. Motion detectors. X-ray systems. Drones. Night-vision goggles. Helicopters. More than 11,000 border patrol officers, and more to be recruited.

The United States is fielding an array of high-tech equipment and a small army of highly trained agents along its border with Mexico to stop people from entering illegally and to throttle the flow of drugs into the world's richest market.

From me:

"Due to the high cost of implementing and maintaining high-tech equipment in guarding its southern border, the United States has decided to cut costs. Recent comments made by border patrol officers about their discomfort with uniforms Made In Mexico are about to be made redundant."

"There are many factories and teams of wage slaves along the border, working in American factories in Mexico. NAFTA has made this all the more simple, and the rate of jobs shifted across is still on the increase. The latest jobs to cross the line will be those of the border patrol officers themselves. 'We just throw them a burrito and a shiny penny each day and they work for 16 hours. Unsupervised. Who says free trade and global commerce is a bad idea?' remarked the head of the Federal Outsourcing Bureau, Jack Ahhrss."
