Drones and all additional border enforcement act as a deterrent. Arrests are not the goal-- they're a undesired byproduct. The goal is to turn them away before they cross the border or discourage them from making the attempt.
That is one theory. The other theory is that there is no desire to turn around anyone and we're allowing 100,000 mostly unskilled and often dangerous people into the country every month. Take a look at the crime statistics and see what ignoring the border does to innocent citizens.
