Internet users to patrol US-Mexico border (Filed: 02/06/2006) The governor of Texas has unveiled plans to place hundreds of CCTV cameras along the US-Mexico border so internet users can "patrol" the frontier from their homes. Rick Perry said that the surveillance cameras along the Rio Grande would allow armchair border guards to view streamed video online and call a toll-free number and report any illegal immigrants they spot trying to enter the country. Texas authorities could then take whatever action they deemed appropriate. "A stronger border is what Americans want and it's what our security demands and that is what Texas is going to deliver," Mr Perry told a gathering of sheriffs from border counties. "I look at this as not different from the neighbourhood watches we have had in our communities for years and years." The cameras would cost $5 million (£2.6 million) to install along the state's 1,000-mile border with Mexico and will be trained on "criminal hot spots and common routes used to enter this country," he said. Mr Perry, a Republican running for re-election in November, did not say when the cameras would be put in place. The proposal comes amid growing concern in some quarters about the number of illegal immigrants entering America via Mexico. George W Bush, the American president, this month sent thousands of troops to the border in a gesture to tighten border security. Every year hundreds of thousands of people from Latin America play hide and seek with the patrols in Texas as they try to slip across the border in search of a better life in America.

Thanks for nothing.
Perry is an open border proponent so this makes him a GD liar and hypocrite and a disingenuous politcal whore like all the rest. This asshole is not interested in border security. I'll vote for Kinky if he makes it on the ballot..I never heard if he got enough signatures yet.
"I tell you, freedom and human rights in America are doomed. The U.S. government will lead the American people in -- and the West in general -- into an unbearable hell and a choking life." Whoa fellers....isn't Perry a Republican? A conservative Republican?? Doesn't he know what's best for us???
The illegals will probably steal the cameras.

The use of troops on the border isn't to keep Illegals Out. They will be used to keep people IN. Something is coming, Not sure what, but I have an awful feeling about the future of this country.

I'm of the mind that something is coming in the form of impeachment for the President and various other people in Congress and the Senate. In order to maintain their power, we'll have another 9-11, which will pretty well annihilate the rest of the freedom of this country. This country has been on a serious downward slide towards totalitarianism since 1992. Ever since Clinton, we've been on the march towards a dictatorship. It's vile, it's sickening, and worst of all, nobody seems to care. I guess in order to make sure that I'm not hauled off, I should stop caring, and be a good little German.

Then you too can be subject to endless "reparations".
