#41(TECH) “The Digital Border Wall” – Robot patrol dogs. 14 pieces of surveillance tech that make up the U.S. “digital border wall”

A “digital border wall” has been steadily built along the U.S.-Mexico border for the last

four presidential administrations, overseen by the Department of Homeland Security

(DHS) and supported by Democrats and Republicans alike. The Biden administration

plans to increase this digital border wall funding, marketing it as a “gentler” or “smarter”

alternative to Trump’s border wall. But these technologies are an extension of the Trump

administration’s border infrastructure buildup, not a break with it. In this episode, we dive into the 14 most important pieces of surveillance technology that make up the US 'digital border wall,' according to immigrant-rights groups.
