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.
