Is the Guardian a far left publication now? Because they’re saying there’s bipartisan agreement on border security and that Biden approved a border security package, but the tenor of the article somehow bizarrely postures Anduril and CBP as the criminals, for enforcing immigration law.

And there’s the argument that enforcing those laws is causing “migrants” to cross in more dangerous ways and is therefore somehow immoral, which is functionally equivalent to: “defending against criminals makes the criminals dumber and more likely to injure or kill themselves and therefore, respecting the interests of the criminals, we should soften our efforts at enforcing the law”.

How did we get here? It’s just so absurd it beggars belief.

I think the article presents a few different ways that this technology is concerning: the budget aspect (which seems to be neutrally aligned), the concern for privacy of US Citizen's near the border (also not a left aligned concept), and the regard for human life regardless of immigration status (something that I imagine isn't unique to the far left).

Regardless of one's take on immigration law, or characterization of undocumented immigrants as criminals: the practices of CBP absolutely should be under scrutiny given the unparalleled power they wield.
