Certainly this technology could differentiate between bears, deer, squirrels, etc., and an illegal alien. Besides, according to the Amicus Journal, illegal aliens sneaking into Texas and Arizona are destroying the habitat and solitude that the last of the big cats and other wildlife need for hunting and breeding. The powerful lights used by the Border Patrol are harmful to the cats' night vision. I find it ironic that you have now turned to using concern for the environment and wildlife as yet another excuse for NOT attempting to control the illegal alien problem, especially when illegal immigration is one of the biggest threats to our environment that exists.
