Armchair Texans to patrol Mexico border
Web users to 'patrol' US border

Web users worldwide will be able to watch the Texas border
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.

3. They Need Something to Make Them Feel "Patriotic"
since they won't serve in Iraq... Besides, there are plenty of brown people down there they can push around.

4. Too many users would surely tie up their cameras...
making it difficult for the minutemen to complete
their mission.

just sayin.
