The US–Mexico border is the subject of an expanding market of cultural productions that frame this imagined and real location as the future and ultimate site of national security. It is also a site anchored in a past, where mobile subjects are sorted and processed in ways that correspond to racialized typologies of the Old West. The culture and politics of border security are saturated with this racial history even as drone technologies promise a future of neutral “target recognition,” so objective it can be automated. Even as this region is steeped in the future of surveillance technologies displayed in border security reality TV shows and Border Security Expos, the public demands pretechnological remedies for control of mobility of people and goods in terrestrial forms through ground agents, walls, and barriers.

无人机期货

美墨边境是不断扩大的文化产品市场的主题，该市场将这个想象中的真实地理位置定为国家安全的未来和最终场所。它也是固定在过去的站点，在该站点中，移动主题的分类和处理方式与旧西部的种族化类型相对应。即使无人机技术承诺了中立的“目标识别”的未来，边界安全的文化和政治也已充斥着这种种族历史，因此可以自动实现目标。即使该地区对未来在边境安全实况电视节目和边境安全博览会中展示的监视技术充满了兴趣，但公众仍需要技术前补救措施，以通过地面人员，墙壁和障碍物控制地面形式的人员和货物的流动。
