Texas Gov. Rick Perry is taking the battle against illegal immigrants to its final destination: Cyberspace.

"We will make the video feed available to state, local and federal law enforcement agencies so they can respond swiftly and appropriately," Perry said. "And we will post this video on the Internet -- in real time -- so that concerned Americans can help protect our nation through online neighborhood watch programs."
