Mexico offers satnav to illegals crossing into the US[GPS for Illegals]

Would-be illegal immigrants planning to cross the desert and enter the United States on foot are to be given hand-held satellite devices by the Mexican authorities to ensure they arrive safely.

Those who get lost or fall sick during the dangerous four-day crossing will be able to activate the device, to alert frontier police on both sides of the border.

The satellite tracking service will require would-be illegals to register their intentions before setting off - a paradoxical move, given that secrecy is necessary for success - but Mexican authorities are predicting that about 200,000 devices will be handed out when the project is launched formally in the coming year.

"Our intention is to save lives," said Jaime Obregon, the coordinator for the state commission for migrants in Puebla, the Mexican state which is behind the project. "There are lots of people looking to cross and we are working with the US authorities to make sure they do not die on the way."

Between 20 and 30 migrants succumb to hellish temperatures and insect bites while trying to cross into Arizona every year. Heat exhaustion sometimes causes short-term memory loss, with trekkers wandering into the desert.

The route into Arizona, known as the Sasave Pass, is both the most common and the most dangerous way into the United States. According to Mexican state migrant authorities, up to 75,000 try the crossing every month, of whom 50,000 to 60,000 are caught by US border patrols and sent back.

The chance of success depends greatly on the knowledge of the guide, known as a "coyote" or "desert fox." They charge US$2,000 (HK$15,600) to US$10,000 per person.

Coyotes are merciless if a member of their pack lags behind. "If you cannot keep up they will abandon you." Obregon said. "Alone, you have about 36 hours to live. It is in this period the satellite device makes a difference."

A spokesman for US Customs and Border Protection said: "We do not have any information about the Mexican government providing satellite trackers to people, but we strongly discourage encouragement to people who are attempting to cross illegally into the United States."

No your intention is not to save lives, but to alleviate your governments problems.

[blondee123]

What the .....??? And who the heck is paying for these???

[Bender]

On the other hand it will make them easier to target....

This is an act of war, plain and simple.

A foreign government is assisting its citizens in the intentional effort to illegally invade the sovereign soil of the U.S.

Like I said many times before; My latest invention, "The Hell Crow 2000 Ver 2.0" will eliminate all and every illegal that attempts to cross the border, 100% guaranteed. I write to the INS all the time but they keep informing me they are not interested which tells me they don`t care about this tidal wave of illegals.

How "The Hell Crow 2000 Ver 2.0" works is like this; Quite simply it is a scarecrow but with the horrifying visage of our own Demon Princess Hellary Rodham pasted on front. Behind the horror mask though is a computer system that is designed to detect by visual and movement recognition all and every illegal immigrant that comes into it`s range. When the recognition is confirmed by a microchip, "The Hell Crow 2000 Ver 2.0" will utter a ear splitting pre-recorded speech made by Hellary Rodham such as Hellarys famous "Sick and tired speech" or her "We are the President speech".

The illegal once horribly assaulted by the image and voice of Hellary, will immediately realize the torture US citizens must put up with everyday when it comes to Hellary, and will decide right there to do a 180 and sprint back to Mexico.

I feel if one or even two of these could be placed on our borders, never again will we have an illegal problem. Matter of fact, if we put them at airports, nobody will enter at all.

Oh my Lord. I haven't laughed so hard all night. Do you think you could make one up with Cindy Sheehan as a back up?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Why doesn't the Mexican Navy just transport illegals in a submarine and insert them on the beach in San Diego?

[stopem]

And do you think they wind up in inner city neighborhoods?

GUESS AGAIN!

They are in neighborhoods where homes and townhomes are valued at $400,000 upwards to a Million Dollars!

They BUY homes there than they proceed to be a BUSINESS by allowing 10-20 of them to live in the home they just bought.

How do I know?
Because I am literally fighting city hall in my area, went there yesterday to speak to Environmental officers and ask them to go to the offending home and have them comply with several ordinances, guess what I was told?

I was told, haven't you noticed that our city is becoming culturally diverse?
To which I replied oh yes I more than noticed that I still live in the United States of America and NOT mexico.
Culturally diverse? New code word for allow the illegals to take over any neighborhood they choose.....coming soon to a neighborhood near you!!

Wait till they have 8-10 pickups all over their property that spills over into yours, how about tires stacked high in the backyard how about old appliances in the backyard?
How about them using your garbage receptacle plus theirs plus any neighbors they can find because there are so many living in one house, how about when they steal your recycling receptacles because of overflowing trash and garbage.....sound like the type of neighbors you will welcome in your neighborhood????

I am taking pictures for PROOF and will send it to all our local papers shortly, I called and spoke with ICE because you know what? I refuse to go down and lose this country without a fight!!!!!
