A new report from the Government Accounting Office reveals that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) plans to nearly triple the number of surveillance towers along U.S. borders, from the current 830 to 2,300 by 2034.
DHS expects to expend $1 billion in taxpayer dollars for this dangerous expansion of a surveillance network indiscriminately trained on towns, school playgrounds, backyards, and vehicles—threatening the privacy and civil liberties of everyone in the border regions.
According to Mother Jones and a bunch of other sources you can find, 60% of Americans live within a 100-mile border zone. That includes 37 states covered partially. 10 states have 100% of their population covered!
If 200 miles, IDK, but gotta be waaaay more than 60%.
