Never underestimate the inginuity of the people. We all know our government cant watch the border all the time. So, now the public can Now, this site was set up in 2008, but Ive never seen or heard about it. Have you? Here's the press release:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: The Texas Border Sheriff's Coalition (TBSC) has instituted the Texas Virtual Border Watch Program to enlist the public's assistance in preventing crime along the Texas-Mexico border. This initiative provides real-time streaming video over a web-based network to enable the public to report suspicious activity to the appropriate law enforcement agency via email. Day and night surveillance cameras have been placed strategically throughout the border region to deny drug and human smugglers unobserved access to the U.S. by placing high-threat areas under public surveillance. The numbers and locations of these cameras will constantly change based on threat. To view the Texas Virtual Border Watch cameras, the public can visit the www.BlueServo.net website.

And here's the main site: http://www.blueservo.net/

Based on this letter to a congressman, it looks like the site gets federal funding: http://www.congress.org/congressorg/bio/userletter/?letter_id=4464740226&content_dir=politicsol

Theres also a link to report suspicious activity. What a great idea! If you Google it, theres quite a bit of info.

During the day if you see four or five young men in a boat report this activity.

Just saw 6 old men and a lady in a boat. Not gonna report.

Shouldn't there be 50 calber machine guns mounted on those camerias and we could score points for kills

 

[blackangst1]

Me and my buddy at work watching action on camera 10 right now. We've seen at least 3 suspects. Reported.

 

[Hacp]

You report them, the local police comes 2 days later to investigate. What a real good use of taxpayer money.

They don't want to. This largely passive border control is by design to cripple American wages for jobs left they can't export with Nafta/MFN etc.

Not machine guns, as there would be problems with people shooting until the barrel melts. No, what would be better would be semi auto .50 sniper rifles. The camera would be the sight. Laser range finders would adjust the zero for the correct distance. You just find something crossing the border and kill it. Simple. Fun. Effective. Everyone knows this.

I don't understand, to what end? They can't sell anything to us if we're not making money.
