Blimps for Border Control on Illegal Immigrant Entries

The Washington Times says Texas Representative Michael McCaul has proposed transferring blimps used for spying in Afghanistan to the southern US border to control illegal border crossings. Representative McCaul is Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, a pretty responsible job.
However, this is a silly proposal and even a basis for consideration of whether Representative McCaul should continue to hold his position as Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee.
I say it's a silly proposal because Representative McCaul obviously does not have his eye on the bigger picture. He could propose 100 different methods for controlling illegal border crossings, but as long as the Obama Administration wants illegal border crossings and has control of federal homeland security and border control agents, Representative McCaul is whistling in the dark. He doesn't seem to realize that.
We need a congressional leader who will fight the federal government, bringing to the attention of the voting public that the Obama Administration's practice of ignoring immigration laws is detrimental to the country, even to the extent that it could be grounds for Pres. Obama's impeachment.
Republicans may consider a fight for border control as dangerous to obtaining the Latino vote. However, most Latino citizens of the US are for strong law enforcement, which is one of the reasons they came here in the first place. If there is any doubt about this, talk with Marco Rubio.
