The Border is Secure! U.S. drones to watch entire Mexico border from September 1

It might sound like right out of a sci-fi flick (Machete?) but Reuters reports that the U.S. government will have unmanned surveillance aircraft monitoring the whole southwest border with Mexico from September 1, as it ramps up border security in this election year. U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said U.S. Customs and Border Protection would begin flying a Predator B drone out of Corpus Christi, Texas, on Wednesday, extending the reach of the agency’s unmanned surveillance aircraft across the length of the nearly 2,000 mile border with Mexico.

Does the border feel more secure now?  Will undocumented migration be reduced to 0?
