New App Helps Illegal's Crossing Border Find Water

A University of California at San Diego professor has developed an application for cell phones that he believes will help illegals cross the border more safely.

The application helps illegals, who are tired and weary after trekking through the brutal desert terrain, find their way quickly to the nearest town and a clean supply of drinking water by using a GPS locator similar to the one you have in your car. It's developers say the application will reduce the number of desert deaths.

Not everyone agrees that this is a good idea. Fellow professor of immigration policy at UCSD, Pete Nunez, who is also a retired U.S. Attorney, says that people who are caught distributing these types of applications could be committing a crime because the program is used only to assist people entering the country illegally. But the professor, along with a local advocacy group hopes to distribute the App online and through churches that offer illegals safe haven.

What do you think? 'Crime' or 'they're crossing the border anyway, might as well give them some water.'

...Yes, because those who are crossing illegally will likely have the latest whatever-G iPhone. Makes complete sense!
