    Default Texas Fights Back

    Good I hope other states follow suit. Oh and thanks Kurki

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    All hail demagoguery.

    It's like someone said in that British camera overabundance thread: The government throws a few bones to the public to make it look like they're being tough while having headaches tryin' to find a real solution.

    McCraw said the project will eventually grow to include at least 70 cameras throughout South Texas, some with zoom lens and thermal capacity. The state is using $5 million in federal security grants that have been earmarked for the web camera program
    Isolated spots + $5 million dollars worth of cameras
    = no illegal immigrants
    = no cameras and an auction on ebay.

    I think everyone is "misunderestimating" the administration. This is actually a very clever plan.

    Any bozo that emails a report in, having watched hours of this stuff, will automatically be put on surveillance himself - since it is highly likely he will soon tool himself up and go machine gun a school or two to make his mark in history.

    It clearly can't be to stop illegal immigrants, since we all know that hitting the employers of the aforementioned would be far more effective.

    They started it 160 years ago when they stole Texas from Mexico. But to be fair the Mexicans weren't really using it. Now the Mexicans are trying to steal it back via illegal migrants.
