A citizen journalist in Arizona who lives by the US/Mexican border made a video showing our taxpayer money -- and the US Border Patrol -- in action. Mostly the video showed how generally peaceful the border area is -- that it is not usually a "war zone." The US Border Patrol got YouTube to remove the original video. Here is her
remake of the video, now titled "Border Patrol in the Bushes, Part Dos."
The ACLU leader in Arizona criticized the censoring of the original video: "This is yet another example of a private online community trampling on our First Amendment rights and trying to exercise greater control over what we share and watch online. People have the right to film government officials carrying out their duties in public places."
