Spot-the-illegals cam

Posted by: ST on June 4, 2006 at 9:45 pm

Now THIS is an idea long overdue:

A US state is to enlist web users in its fight against illegal immigration by offering live surveillance footage of the Mexican border on the internet.

The plan will allow web users worldwide to watch Texas’ border with Mexico and phone the authorities if they spot any apparently illegal crossings.

Texas Governor Rick Perry said the cameras would focus on “hot-spots and common routes” used to enter the US.

US lawmakers have been debating a divisive new illegal immigration bill.

The Senate has approved a law that grants millions of illegal immigrants US citizenship and calls for the creation of a guest-worker programme, while beefing up border security.

But in order to come into effect, the plan must be reconciled with tougher anti-immigration measures backed by the House of Representatives, that insist all illegal immigration should be criminalised.

Like the idea? Email your elected reps in Congress to let them know.

      Now if they’d just hook up remote controlled maching guns you could operate with your mouse, they could charge big bucks for it. :-"

      I like the idea.

      Mainly cause it will put it out there for EVERYONE to see.

      No more just talking about it when you can show clips of how bad it is unchecked border crossing.

      Maybe when we start putting faces to the crime of illegal entry into the United States, fraudulent papers, stolen IDs, ect.., then perhaps people will take this more seriously.

      - The MSM Liberal lovebirds will try very very hard to ignore it, until some balanced press takes it up as a story, and then the left will spin it as an “invasion of privacy” issue, and start wailing about the illegals Constitutional rights being trampled on. The left has already moved that goalpost from “human” rights to “civil” rights, assuming the masses are too stupid too know that the illegals have no such rights.It becoming a sickeningly predictable broken record.

      - Bang **==
