Predator Drones to Begin Patrolling Texas-Mexico Border

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has announced the US will begin flying Predator surveillance drones out of Corpus Christi, Texas, beginning tomorrow. This will give US Customs and Border Protection agents the ability to use drones to remotely monitor the entire southwest border with Mexico from Texas to California. Meanwhile, the first round of National Guard forces have arrived in the Arizona desert to patrol the border. More National Guard troops are expected to be deployed to southern California tomorrow.
