How about the people of Texas making him a "virtual" governor.
To: John Jorsett
Sounds like Perry has a very good idea. Volunteers manning monitoring stations and calling notificaiton to border patrol/Texas law enforcement. Hopefully the US allies of the illeagels won't destroy the cameras.

If experience in Arizona serves, these will be used for target/baseball practice by the smugglers. The Border Patrol has to safeguard their tall towers or people will climb them and whack the hell out of the equipment up there.

Do you think your marxist buddies are simply staying there?

The cameras, which would cost $5 million to install... Dumb idea. How do you say "target practice" in Spanish?
To: cotton1706
I will not vote for him, period. I may just skip that vote. None of them are worth 2 cents.

"a right-wing-led campaign against illegal immigration"
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1417560/posts
Proving my bigoted belief: that most Americans--in point of fact, a clear majority--are "right-wing".
I have to go sharpen my British commando (Fairbanks-Sykes) knives now, and inventory my ammo.
Why? Because that's what we hysterical, right-wing thread-jumping closed border loons do.

so....I can sit here with my DSL connection at 42 degrees north latitude, watching hoardes of illegal migrants crossing the Mexican border, and do.......WHAT?
Worse than a stupid idea....a smoke-screen misdirection play. Trying to convince us they are doing something while they continue to fight the wall, kicking and screaming. Not gonna fall for it!
To: John Jorsett
People on the Net will be able to watch though the camera.
Now if they ordnance attached ....
To: John Jorsett
Good idea if 'virtual deportation' isn't coupled with it.

When I was a kid we would sit on grannys porch and count cars comming into town. This sounds similar and equally effective at stopping illegals.

Those cameras will be smashed or stolen within 30 days. Count on it. Without a wall, that's just another waste of US Taxpayers' monies.
To: John Jorsett
I think having access to state level funded Predator (&) drones with FLIR & Hellfire missiles preprogrammed to fly only the Rio Grande channel, fire only from bank to bank, and a 'border patrol watch' lottery ($2 to enter for a weeks' worth of patrolling - daily 1 hr shift), citizens against illegal immigration would spend millions to help enforce US law from the comfort of their laptops, personal PC's at home or at Starbucks w/ high speed connection. (Chance to blast a wetback, a coyote, or a drug runner).
Unfortunately it would only last a while after word got out...targets would shift attempted entry points...then TX could rent the system to AZ and NM.
A blast of a lottery.

Texas governor plans "virtual" border patrol.
I would prefer that it be an "actual" border.
There is virtual reality and then there is actual reality.
video games are ok as long as you are not a governor of a state that is being invaded. When that happens you have to actually do something.
