The
"New Border Patrol"
For more than
two years American
Border Patrol sent live video images of border crossers out
over the Internet. According to its president, Glenn Spencer,
ABP is now engaged in a special project to develop specific ideas
on how to improve the Border Patrol. "We are using the Border
Hawk UAV and special electronic sensors at our new border facility
to get the data we need to make recommendations," Spencer
said.
Spencer said that while the Minuteman
Project showed how sheer numbers can have an affect, there are
more sophisticated ways to solve the problem.
ABP expects to unveil its plan for a
"New Border Patrol" this summer. "We are going
to give Congress something to chew on," Spencer said. |
