Mijente describes itself in its Twitter bio as โa new political home for Latinx and Chicanx organizing,โ so we guess they didnโt get the memo that most Hispanic voters oppose illegal immigration and dislike being called โLatinx.โ
So we were prepared for the guy in the video to explode or something; after all, they called it โhorrific.โ What it is is a drone with a taser attached, technology that is intended to build a โsmart wallโ along the border. We imagine this thing has limited use โ the U.S. obviously isnโt going to (or could) tase every migrant, but zapping a human smuggler might be useful.
CONTENT WARNING. THIS VIDEO IS HORRIFIC.
This Peter Thiel supported startup founder's pitch was drones that tase migrants.
He got $26m from VCs such as @sama. Forbes included him on their "30 under 30" for social impact.
Absolutely disgusting.

The taser seems very ineffective but everything else about this is awesome and needs to be fast tracked.

So let's build a wall and prevent the illegal crossings in the first place.
