Quote:Probably and I hope that's the case. Still if what he said is not out of context hed be advocating for drone strikes either on US soil or Mexican. Don't think drones cam tell whether people are in the cave.

I'm presuming he'd only hit American soil (and it's not hard to tell who owns what with GPS technology and, you know, a big freaking wall there), and also assuming he'd send Border Patrol and/or National Guard in to clear and monitor the cave during the strike to ensure that people aren't in there.

 

On the face of it, the plan isn't terrible, but there really aren't that many caves along the border anyway (except, maybe, in the more mountainous regions of CA and NM), and most lay-ups are in areas of thick scrub or underneath little rock overhangs that are way too small to hit with a drone strike. I'm also not a fan of wantonly destroying the natural landscape like that, needlessly disrupting and/or killing the wildlife that relies on those caves and blowing up cash that should be used to put more feet along the border itself.
