Phone Application to Help Illegals

http://www.tonic.com/article/phone-application-helps-immigrants-navigate-across-border/

Recently while watching the news i came across a report on this new application designed to make it easier and safer for illegal immigrants to cross the border into the United States. The application is a GPS type device designed for working in remote areas such as the desert. It is said the device will guide immigrants to the safest area in which to cross weather that is dealing with rivers, highway, or even avoiding border security. It was created by a team of researchers in San Diego who claim that it is the name of humanitarian rights. Personally, i feel this troubling due to the fact that American scientists are created newer simpler ways to help immigrants sneak into this country. It is one thing to have Mexican researchers develop this to help their countrymen but completely another to have Americans completely undermined the efforts of the American government, as well as, border security from keeping these exact same people out. Another thing i could not help thinking while watching this is what kind of poor Mexican immigrant that so desperately needs to get into the United States has a Motorola cell phone equipped with many applications including this high quality GPS. Even in America these types of phones are very expensive to afford and maintain. If a person has these such possessions they obviously have the means and ability to enter the country legally. As Americans i dont beleive we should be encouraging and promoting what is already a large problem.
