Los Ojos de Tejas Están Sobre Usted

[posted by T.C.]

Texas Governor Rick Perry says:

Rick Perry has announced a $5 million plan to install hundreds of night-vision cameras on private land along the Mexican border and put the live video on the Internet, so that anyone with a computer who spots illegal immigrants trying to slip across can report it on a toll-free hot line.


His timing is great:

Under the plan, announced on the eve of the state GOP convention, cameras and other equipment would be supplied to willing landowners and placed along some of the most remote reaches of the border. The live video would be made available to law enforcement and anyone else with an Internet connection.

To the critics that say smugglers will know where the cameras are and avoid them... he says they can be moved often and his conclusion was:

And if the smugglers do figure it out, the equipment can easily be moved. "This
isn't our first rodeo," he said.

Don't Mess With TEXAS!
