Guillot continued, "What concerns me most about specifically the Chinese migrants is – one, that they're so centralized in one location on the border. And two, is while many may be political refugees, other explanations, the ability for counterintelligence to hide in plain sight in those numbers."
Drone incursions on the United States' border with Mexico number in the "thousands," according to a senior Pentagon official.
Sen. Ted Budd, R-N.C., questioned Gens. Gregory M. Guillot and Laura J. Richardson at a Senate hearing Thursday, asking about the number of drones documented at the southern border and their risks to homeland security.
"The number of incursions was something that was alarming to me as I took command last month," Guillot told the senator. "I don't know the actual number – I don't think anybody does – but it's in the thousands."

Only a matter of time...

There should be a free-fire zone along the border , and a bounty for every drone brought down.

Time to have a massive trap shooting match along the border. Drones count double.

Plus the gunfire would scare away the illegals.
Win-win.
Win-win.

We can just count them as half a point.

Who’s to say some of them didn’t identify as clay pigeons?

When is Texas's drone season?

I watched a video of Cartel members using suicide drones to kill Mexican federal police and soldiers.
matter of time before they use these FPV drones in the US.

Meanwhile Mayorkas has said the southern border is secure.

Narcos just using the Amazon drone plan to deliver drugs. Don't have to pay a cut to DHS now.

Cartels have been making use of COTS drones for some time. Some of these drones are for reconnaissance and some can deliver payloads - packages, extra batteries, explosives, etc. Drones continue to advance in capability, meanwhile our anti-drone capabilities lag far behind and seem to all depend on mega expensive gadgets that, I'm sure, will be bypassed by adversaries.
We have a bad habit of thinking some uber expensive tech is a panacea for all problems. Back in the Balkans campaigns we had planes with the most advanced optics dropping bombs on targets - the targets often ended up being cars with telephone poles shoved through the windshield and were mistaken for tanks. Why did this happen? Because our planes had to stay out of range of SAMs that were decades old, that we didn't have countermeasures for, and the optics couldn't properly discriminate from high altitude. We were spending a million dollars to drop smart bombs on Yugos from the junkyard.
Nothing has changed and we are in grave danger of many systems being overwhelmed by older stuff that incurs virtually zero cost to an adversary, and newer things that are fractions of the cost of our counter-measures. This is all engineered by the wizards in the MIC that demand more and more money and deliver less and less for national security.

Drone with 2kg payload: $16,000
2kg Heroin: $600,000
Do the math...
