The city of Dallas has order 5,000 jetpacks, San Diego has ordered 3,000 and Phoenix has ordered 4,000 that included a special “illegal immigrant” spyscope. “We plan on using these jetpacks to put these illegals behind bars. We’re gonna swoop down on them all,” said Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County.
