If Illegals Are Getting Through, Who or What Else is Getting Through?
I read an article about Mayor Bloomberg’s trip to London this week to observe the “Ring of Steel” video surveillance system in operation. This comes on the heels of a decision to spend 200 million dollars to buy 3000 high end video analytic smart cameras for Lower Manhatten. In addition, the Sunday front page of the Arizona Daily Star has an article about a mobile video surveillance system that is used on the border to help keep it secure. It works using motion detection, daytime cameras and thermal night time cameras with GPS to help track illegal border traffic. Another 35 to 40 units are on order because it is one of the few ideas on the border issue that actually works.
Not everyone agrees that having these advanced security measures is exactly what made America free and great. But it does show the reality of the world we live in and what we have to do to try and protect ourselves from the bad people who want to do us harm. If that explosive device had gone off in Times Square, there would have been a panic. I don’t really believe that the average American begrudges a poor hispanic person from wanting to work to support their family if they would just go back to their country of origin or put in the effort to become a legal citizen. But the problem is if they are getting through, who or what else is getting through?
The moral of this story is to remain vigilant, and be grateful that we have the Military, the Border Patrol and the first responders who have the tools and gumption to try and keep us safe. It’s a different world that we live in, but with common sense and advanced technology I think we can keep each other safe.
Let me know what you think.
