Thread: Recruit video game fanataics to stop illegal border crossing

I had a brainstorm while I read this article I believe got posted yesterday. Lets get video game fanatics to turn to this real life game and call in whenever they observe activity. It is a shame this is only a virtual wall and not a real one. We all know a real one would work much better, but if this is how they want to play the game, we don't have a lot of choice. Find every kid you know and have him watch this website when it is up and running and tell him it is a really cool video game!

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.

and this will help how? What if whoever you call doesn't act on it?

Good point, Spin. The border patrol can only be in so many places at once and that is a long border.

Perry knows that he hasn't made a peep about that border until the last few months and he has to know it is his responsibility to be at least making an attempt to keep it from being breached. But, he's too busy looking in the mirror to do his job.

We all know about the Feds lack or getting the job done; I just thought that since this was perhaps the best they were going to offer us, it is a good way to involve younger people to at least make an effort.

Perry announced Thursday that the state would invest $5 million to install hundreds of surveillance cameras on private farmland along the Texas-Mexico border, broadcast the live feed on a Web site, and ask Web users to call an 800-number to report sightings of undocumented immigrants.

State officials Friday likened the plan to a "neighborhood watch" for the entire border. "We're talking about a really long neighborhood," Perry spokes woman Rachael Novier said.
