AUSTIN, Texas -- More than a year and a half after Gov. Rick Perry promised to put hundreds of cameras on the border and broadcast live footage of undocumented border crossers on the Web, the project is about to become reality.
Perry has found $3 million to restart his virtual border watch program, and the cameras could be up and running by January, a spokeswoman said. Though, she added, it might take longer to make the footage available online.
Why does it seem that Gov. Rick Perry spends alot of time campaigning in Mexico instead of Texas? Governors of states cannot make treaties with foreign countries, so why is he there? Is he looking for potential new voters who have no legal status?
Cameras are good, but even better are boots on the ground and a fence. Cameras don't apprehend illegal aliens, drugs or even terrorist. Just something to think about.
