Smartphone App for Migrants Being Piloted in Central America, Mexico
Tico Times ^ | 10/1

Posted on 10/02/2017 11:51:29 AM PDT by nickcarraway

A smartphone app designed to help migrants safely move through countries is being tested in Central America and Mexico starting this week ahead of a wider roll-out elsewhere in the world, the UN Migration Agency said Friday.

“MigrantApp” offers information in English, Spanish and French on safety, health, accommodation and organizations offering assistance.

Its launch comes at a time when the United States is making undocumented immigration far more difficult, while ending programs that had eased the entry and residence of certain migrants. Much of the U.S. attention is directed at Mexicans and Central Americans who make up the largest number of undocumented migrants who have entered the United States.

Central America is also a major corridor for other migrants from Latin America – particularly Venezuelans right now – and from countries on other continents seeking to get to the United States.

so human sex traffickers will have the ones they want go one way, the others any other way. Plus, if the CIA and FBI were smart, they would monitor those apps.

“..app designed to help migrants safely move through countries...”

“SAFELY” means covertly. Anything to make a buck.

Or distribute their own "special" versions!

Idiots all. Obviously our LEO’s will have the same information too in real time.

Any migrant who can afford an iPhone really does not need to come here.

Remember “care-ware”? Where you donated what you thought the “free” software was worth?

This is CareWare, but in a different way. Their business model is screwing us, making us out to be the pot at the end of the rainbow. A legend which the US-hating left and Muslims promote, I daresay.

Basically admitting it is unsafe to travel in parts of Mexico and Central America. It is probably a good thing for them to know where to find some safe havens so they’re not “fair game” to vultures.
