Should the Predators patrolling our southern borders be armed with missles?

With so many drug traffickers running around the borders and all the recent killings of the innocents due to the drug war, wouldn't it be cheaper and safer to arm the Predators so when these outlaws are spotted they could just be killed on the spot?

no, predators shouldn't have missiles. that would be dumb. a .50 cal minigun, i can understand... not a rocket, though. what there's someone on the fence... the drone will blow up a huge portion of the fence.

Or let our Border Patrol agents do their jobs instead of throwing them in jail.

You can't shoot a .50 cal minigun from a predator... a few rounds would stop it dead in its tracks and it would drop out of the sky. Rockets have no kick so they work.

Would be a hell of a lot cheaper to legalize pot and roll out a guest worker program.

We should give them sprayers that shoot hydrofluoric acid and darts containing the bubonic plague.

How would they differentiate between a drug runner and someone trying to enter the country illegally?

BTW-Doing what you propose would violate a person's right to due process.

It's not a militarized zone.

If it were some kind of shoot on sight death zone, yes, predators would make sense.

they should build a really really really long expensive fence that is built in movable sections.
