Texas Virtual Border Watch
- Texas Virtual Border Watch
The Texas Virtual Border Watch is a pilot program created by the State of Texas that allows citizens to observe and report on the Texas-Mexico border via their computers. It is a matter of controversy whether this is a good thing, by some, but it is constitutionally acceptable.
The trial version of the Texas Virtual Border Watch recorded 27,940,119 Internet hits and registered 221,576 users.
