Biden has replaced the bully's symbolic border wall with a barrier of automatic surveillance.
A border thug might beat you to death, or kill you by poisoning wells, motivated by racist hatred. A robot, even an unarmed one, might beat you to death or even push you over a cliff without having any emotions, and without any concept of what it means to be injured. It need only be programmed to recognize you as a "threat".
I don't see anything inherently wrong with detecting people that cross the border. It's what happens after that, that can be wrong.
However, the surveillance of "the border" is not limited to people that recently crossed it. The US border thugs are authorized to snoop on, and search, everyone within 50 miles of a coast or border. Most Americans live in that zone. The monitoring of everyone could be extended to you in your neighborhood.
WHO estimates that Covid-19 has killed around 15 million people.
A fraction of them died of other medical causes because they were unable to get treatment while hospitals were filled due Covid-19, but most of them actually died of Covid-19.
The figure of 14.9 million is surely excess precision. We can't estimate the number within .1 million.
