The U.S. currently has four drones patrolling the border with Mexico in Arizona and one in the northern border with Canada in the state of North Dakota.
In a comment in Congress, Democratic Senator Robert Menendez said the security situation involving the threat of drug cartel violence spilling over the borders is bound to influence the debate on immigration issues and suggested that some members of the Senate feel that we cannot begin to tackle the issue of immigration reform unless we militarize the borders and gain control of the violence.
