IRVING – Gov. Rick Perry called for the use of unarmed Predator drones to patrol the Texas-Mexico border on Monday as he tried to shore up his border security credentials in a campaign stop at the Irving Police Association Hall.
“The federal government has been an abject failure at sealing our international border,” Perry said.
Perry said he has asked the U.S. Department of Defense to deploy a Predator – the unmanned aircraft used by the military both for gathering intelligence and carrying out missile strikes – to help improve border security and provide “real-time” data. Predators are now in use at the Arizona border for surveillance of drug and migrant smuggling.
