But I wonder why the title of the article is "The US has vowed to stop every single illegal immigrant.." and use "unmanned vehicals". Niether of these are attributed anywhere in the article.

I have a theory, that much of the news isn't really "written" by anyone, so much as it is generated from a database of facts and statements. For instance, starting with the bolded first sentance, the other 5 sentances are written out of order, and don't support the main topic. Also, in the "Strained Relations" topic, they could be re-arranged, and it wouldn't make any difference.

Empty promises IMO. What do you think?
I think they're just throwing out junk numbers just so it can be used said they're doing something. I've heard that 10000 more agents, a 2000mile double walled fence, electronic monitoring systems, etc... costing 9billion would significantly slow the influx. So, I don't think 1000 agents really makes much difference.
