New border watch effort will focus on cameras
     Hereford, Az. -- American Border Patrol, a nonprofit organization, launched a plan Thursday to demonstrate how easy it would be for federal officials to count illegal immigrants entering the United States.
    The group, with help from designated contractors, is setting up a system of cameras and sensors along a 30-mile segment of the U.S.-Mexico border in Cochise County, said president Glenn Spencer. [...]
    The program came about as a result of the Sept. 9 Government Accountability Office report on the Secure Border Initiative, according to Spencer.
    The GAO's recommendation was "to improve the quality of information available to allocate resources and determine tactical infrastructure's contribution to effective control of the border, the Commissioner of [Customs and Border Protection] should conduct a cost-effective evaluation of the impact of tactical infrastructure on effective control of the border."
    Spencer said the Department of Homeland Security could measure its effectiveness by counting the number of illegal crossers with a similar system and then subtracting those individuals who get apprehended by Border Patrol agents.
