    NOGALES, Ariz. (AP) — That big white thing flying over Nogales this week is a tethered-camera-equipped blimp the Border Patrol is testing out.

    The Nogales International reports the aerostat is equipped with surveillance equipment and is on a test flight for the next week or so.

    Border Patrol spokesman Lloyd Easterling says it was first deployed Monday at an altitude of between 1,500 and 2,000 feet.

    Easterling says when and if the blimp returns to the Nogales border area will depend on whether the agency is satisfied with the system's performance.

    According to the blimp maker's website, the aerostat is capable of scanning a city-sized area at once, making it virtually impossible to sneak up to, or through a protected area.

    Don't reward the criminal actions of millions of illegal aliens by giving them citizenship.
