Border Crossing: There’s an App for That

NBC San Diego: A San Diego research team is close to releasing a smart phone application to help illegal immigrants navigate safely across the border. Critics of the Transborder Immigrant tool are outraged, though. After it's downloaded into Motorola phones equipped with GPS, it's a humanitarian tool designed to save lives, according to the application's creators at UCSD. "It's really just designed for you to turn it on, and the compass would show you where is the nearest safety site -- be that Border Patrol or highway or water -- in case you're in extreme emergency," co-creator Micha Cardenas said. Border Busts Critics, including the California Coalition for Immigration Reform, are outraged and think the app's creators should be arrested.

AND K!!L SOME THUG LOOKING TO K!!L YOU. SO WHY NOT USE A SOFTWARE THAT TELLS YOU WHERE THE LOSER THUGS ARE AND NAVIGATE AROUND THEM.

Just shows the lengths the left will go to in the destruction of the sovereignty of America by encouraging illegal migration and the furtherance of their one-world government philosophy.

There is no other way to describe it since LEGAL immigration is available to Mexican citizens who want to become American citizens or even to just become LEGAL residents of America.

GPS is available to anyone but it is not targeted towards providing a means to illegal border crossing.

What a tool. Notice the Palestinian kaffiyeh around this knucklehead’s neck. $20 bucks says he’s a vegan and wets his bed.

Arresting them is my second choice.

I wonder if this tool can also assist those traveling TOWARD the southern border and beyond? Hmmm…

Colored hair.

Painted nails.

Funny voice.

Peirced nose.

Palestine scarf.

This has got to be a joke.

Check out the fingernail polish on this guy. And the eye liner.

Lame, hope the Border Patrol picks up a few copies and just stakes out every damned spot on the map.

Time to shut this company down if they are allowing illegals to break the law…. End of discussion.

Before you all go getting your panties in a bunch over “libruls gone mad”….I’m a liberal-minded person and I think this is just ridiculous. Stupid people are stupid people….on both sides of arguments like these….and this guy has to be insane to think this is “well intentioned”. However, don’t think the path to legal immigration is that simple either…I happen to think that people should be able to move and live anywhere they want to in the world and the process of vetting and screening for suitability should not take years and years in any country. The whole concept of borders is really pretty new for most of the world…far less closed borders with fences and razor wire. Yes there are unique security concerns at the southern border of the U.S., but it’s not an “immigration problem”, it’s a security issue. Law abiding people should be free to move back and forth at will through proper channels and allowed to earn a living…worldwide.

All you need to do is open the flood gates of LEGAL immigration to stop illegal immigration. Oh wait, but that means you wont be getting 2nd hand slave labor for your farm or sweat shop, nor any political kick backs from said companies.

I didn’t know that the Dole canned foods company made fruitcups that could talk. What a breakthrough! Typical liberal nutjob (bet he likes nuts). My guess is aiding in criminal activity is still against the law in this country. Unfortunately, I doubt our busy attorney general has any intention of looking in to this. What a joke.

Can California slide off into the ocean already!

Why does the TV station tape a segment like this and NOT question his motives?? As it’s already been noted: he’s wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh, has painted his nails… the guy is a subversive and has pulled one over on the TV station. Shame on the station for not catching this before airing the ’story’.

This is for you Frank01

Illegal mex national gets life in prison for murder by beating and then burning his elderly 83 year old employer alive. She employed him to do her yard work and payed him extra to help him out and was murdered after discovering he was kiting her check.

This is the result of illegal migration. He probably had a criminal record in Mexico that would have been discovered during the LEGAL immigration process.

humanitarian— mmmmm! maybe this group could pay for all expenses incurred by illegals ( medical, educational etc )

Enough and Enough Already…………….

This Insanity will be STOPPED.

There is now Room at GITMO for Liberal TRASH

Nail polish, a nose ring, and what looks like something a suicide bomber would wear over it’s face. This is the typical young male college student in California? I bet he even attends the rallies for the real se#ual pr3dators, you know, the rainbow terd burglars? This is what the liberal minds in the universities have spawned: Mao-ggots.

That would be a crime under the digital y2k act. You can’t make applications that are used to commit crimes.
