Why This Matters
🔍 AI surveillance blankets the southern border:
Anduril autonomous towers use machine learning to track every person, vehicle, and animal across 200+ miles, creating comprehensive surveillance that feeds into broader immigration enforcement databases
💰 Border militarization becomes tech company goldmine:
The $1.2 billion contract represents the privatization of border security, where Silicon Valley companies profit from anti-immigrant sentiment while avoiding accountability for human rights violations
👥 Mass tracking affects legal border communities:
These towers monitor U.S. citizens, legal residents, and visitors in border towns, creating pervasive surveillance of American communities under the guise of immigration enforcement
🤖 Autonomous systems make life-or-death decisions:
AI algorithms decide which border crossers get flagged for enforcement without human oversight, potentially targeting legal asylum seekers and separating families based on machine learning biases
📊 Your movements get stored forever:
Every detection creates permanent digital records that can be accessed by multiple federal agencies, building comprehensive profiles of everyone who lives near or travels along the border
