Sovereignty has now officially been web2.0-yfied: Check out BlueServo a public private partnership that:
The TBSC BlueServoSM Virtual Community WatchSM is a network of cameras and sensors along the Texas-Mexico border that feeds live streaming video to www.BlueServo.net. Users will log in to the BlueServoSM website and directly monitor suspicious criminal activity along the border via this virtual fenceSM.
Citizens can sign up as Virtual Texas DeputiesSM to participate in border surveillance through this social network. Virtual Texas DeputiesSM from around the country will monitor the streaming video from these cameras 24/7 and report any suspicious activities directly to the Border Sheriffs via email. All emails regarding suspicious activity will be submitted anonymously.
It is a public private partnership because the
The Texas Border Sheriff’s Coalition (TBSC) has joined BlueServoSM in a public-private partnership to deploy the Virtual Community Watch, an innovative real-time surveillance program designed to empower the public to proactively participate in fighting border crime.
The second phase of the criminalization of the border. Now the red necks in Texas will have the cameras for their human-hunting agenda. Not so good news.

actually the people who live at the border are usually those most opposed to the fence. even personally, the people who had the harshest anti-immigrant attitude lived nowhere near the border. of course I’m speaking generally: prominent single examples would probably serve to refute what I said. politicians just do a horrible job at explaining immigration to the average voter. in a sense, they do just as bad a job at explaining most everything else…

Isn’t it better, if those guys are sitting at home…instead of running their own patrols along the border?
