Obviously the border is a big problem and we need to do something about it.
I've heard people talking about building walls, more border patrol ECT...,
but in this day and age we should be able to lock down the border with technology using less people.
Cameras are the way to go, but the implementation sounds very poor.
In my opinion these cameras should all be connected to a computer processing system.
They should be able to come up with a program that can recognize human like movement.
Every time the program raises a red flag, a person in a control room should check out the video feed and either send or not send border patrol as necessary.
A system like this could be set up and implemented with fewer resources than a wall, using much less people to have to patrol.
If cities can set up camera's that can check people's faces against a database and raise a red flag, how hard would it be for a program to detect basic human movement?
