Gotta love Texans, they still pack guns, have rolling tumbleweeds and a state that seems to stretch forever, but soon could be geeking out with webcams allowing netizens to help patrol their borders. At a cost of roughly five million bones.

The Texas governor announced his plans for streaming the border surveillance camera footage over the internet at a meeting of police officials on Thursday. “A stronger border is what Americans want and it’s what our security demands and that is what Texas is going to deliver,” Mr Perry said.

When netizens spot a suspected illegal crossing the border they will be urged to call a free phone number and report it. How long before we see mashups where border crossings and maps are combined? This could bring all new meaning to shows like the Cops integrated with the internet. Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do when webcam spot you … Just think of the possibilities for a modern day Running Man?

(joking on that last one)

How long before illegals already here march again crying that this is some sort of invasion of their privacy?

Did this post make you go hmm?
