If you think Border Patrol's surveillance machine at the U.S.-Mexico border is extreme, wait until you learn about the Sentinel Tower that the State of Chihuahua is building in Ciudad Juarez.

1. The State of Chihuahua Is Building a 20-Story Tower in Ciudad Juarez to Surveil 13 Cities–and Texas Will Also Be Watching
  
  from Dave Maass and Veridiana Alimonti
