Comment REJECTED SUBMISSION--PLEASE READ! (Score -1, Offtopic) 115
I apologize for this off-topic posting which was submitted earlier to the Slashdot editors, but which was rejected yesterday, due to what I can only assume is slavish adherence by the /. editors to the same politically correct guidelines that are crippling public debate in every corner of the major news media. Now it appears as if the weblogs are headed down the same ruinous route.
I believe that this story is very much in line with the usual Slashdot fare, except that this story deals with hi-tech being used in a politically incorrect fashion.
I also believe that a public debate on the issues and actions discussed in this article is vital to the health of this country and indeed this very weblog, and so therefore I am posting this article here.
If you are an American citizen, of whatever race, who is concerned with the future of America--and with the future of Slashdot--then I ask you to MOD UP THIS POST so that others are more likely to read it.
Thank you.

Members of the group have spiked their land with thousands of motion sensors. They also use infrared tracking devices, global positioning systems, night vision goggles, radar and other gear to survey movement near the border.
