    Coming to a City Near you

    EL PASO -- Unarmed Predator drones -- sought by Gov. Rick Perry to patrol the border -- have been flying over the nation's Southwest border for the past two years and more are expected, U.S. Rep. Silvestre Reyes said Tuesday.
    Perry, a Republican running for his third full term, asked the Defense Department to send one of the drones to Texas during a Monday campaign stop.
    "It's nothing new," said Reyes, a Democrat from El Paso. "The governor is well aware of the stuff we're doing."
    Perry suggested that Predator units preparing to deploy could use the border with Mexico as a training ground. That also has been done before, Reyes said.
