Couldn't MB just provide a Latino edition of Trail Safe? :D
This could create jobs..... manning the free phone kiosk booth at the border.
Dominguez said he is in contact with non-governmental organizations on the border and churches that already help individuals with safe passage north, hoping to ultimately form a partnership for free distribution and training of the devices.

There seems to be a mobile phone application for just about everything these days -- even illegal border crossing. An application still in the testing stages is designed to point border-crossers to nearby water, show them safer routes and provide them with a series of poems to make them feel welcome along their way.
Individuals trekking north may soon be able to download the program into an inexpensive web-enabled cellular phone that is supposed to help them safely navigate the treacherous desert crossing between Mexico and the United States, known as the Devil's Highway.
"The point of the project is to offer multiple spaces of sustenance," said Ricardo Dominguez, who led the creation of the tool. Dominguez, an associate professor of visual arts at UC San Diego, leads a team at the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology where he is a principal investigator.
The team -- which involved a collection of researchers from different disciplines of study -- is hoping to have the application, called a Transborder Immigrant Tool, officially up and running by mid-2010 after a series of test runs in the desert to adjust the kinks and make necessary tweaks. For now, the invention is in its beta stage.

It's a non-profit organization. I say remove the non-profit and arrest them for sedition.

It's the California University system funding the project.
What a wonderful use of tax dollars. The university system is broke and yet they are funding this garbage for illegals.
"Chaos descended upon the University of California campus this week when thousands of student protesters faced off against armed police after UC's Board of Regents approved a 32 percent increase in student fees, and also a 15 percent midyear tuition hike (it's still unclear if raising tuition midyear is legal). The vote will bring the total cost of a UC education to more than $10,000 per year for the first time ever."
"It almost feels like 1968 again. Students are occupying buildings at the University of California. The police have strapped on riot gear. Officials are recalcitrant. Even some of the old slogans: "Fight back!" and "We can't take it no more!" have made a comeback."

Our tax $ being used to aid in the violation of Federal law and contempt of Congress, not to mention violating the Constitution.
Article 1.
Section 8
The Congress shall have Power To

The students at UC have every right to raise hell. We should support them, as providing a university level eductation to folks at a reasonable cost is vital to our economy. The fact that their tutition is being wasted to break the law and subvert the government should be a reason for them to show up with tar and feathers for the regents meeting, not just signs.

FQ, sort of the wrong thread ;D They aren't raising hell about this, their getting extra credit for it.
For the rest of you, think about this. They will get this perfected, (after the bugs in the system kill a few illegals) then the military will buy it, replace the welcoming poetry with basic Farsi language phrases, and survival tips, and issue them to air crews in Afghanistan. ;D

So actually there are working with the pentagon and not the illegals?
That would be funny.....hope you are right Tom.

Oh, no, good socialists would NEVER DREAM of helping OUR military. But being greedy hypocrite ba$trards some little Corporation will offer them a couple mil ALLEGEDLY to help the nomads in Sudan or some crap, and THEY will turn around and make a bundle selling it to the DOD. ;D

What part of"illegal" do people not understand? Illegal aliens are criminals. People who help them commit the crime of entering illegaly should be arrested and prosecuted, and maybe have their citizenship revocked.

You want to get "Illegal Immigration" stopped cold ?
I'll tell you how. ;D
It's not "Illegal Immigration", it's "Contempt of Congress". ;D
Like I posted earlier no less than the US Constitution , which those SOB's love to wrap them selves in when it suits their purpose, Grants the sole power to set immigration policy to the US Congress, not to pompous a$$holes who want to declare themselves "sanctuary cities" and certainly not to some raggedy a$$ Mexican who doesn't have a pot to piss in.
Promote it as a big FU to the "High and Mighty" and their ego's will do the rest. ;D
