American college prof develops cell-phone tool to help illegals cross border

Illegal aliens crossing the U.S.-Mexico border now have a cell phone tool to chart the best route, find food and locate people who will help them enter the country – courtesy of a professor at a state-funded university.

Ricardo Dominguez, a University of California, San Diego tenured visual arts professor and activist, designed the Transborder Immigrant Tool, an application much like a global-positioning system used in cars, to help illegals find the best locations for food, water and groups to assist them as they sneak into America.

Dominguez is also co-founder of the Electronic Disturbance Theater, or EDT, a group that developed virtual-sit-in technologies in 1998 in solidarity with the Zapatista communities in Chiapas, Mexico. He also helped set up a website-jamming network called the FloodNet system to attack official sites of the U.S. Border Patrol, White House, G8, Mexican embassy and others.

You have the right to know when the government is monitoring you. You do not have the right to break into the country.

I wonder how the Mexican government would handle this sort of thing if he was helping folks sneak north across their southern border.

How long until ICE has copies of this software? Sounds to me like a great tool for finding out where the Coyotes and Mules are going.

Well, according to the Bush White House, getting a speeding ticket is very much like being an illegal alien who is caught.

Sounds good and simple to me...will Napolitano (DHS) allow it? That ‘s real question.

Yeah, that is a good point in that cell coverage is spotty at best along the US-Mexico border. Moreover, there are not a whole lot of would be illegal aliens that own iPhones.

The bible also told the Jews to kill all the people who lived in the land given to Abraham because he knew the damage they would do to the Israelites.

I think you might be surprised. I have been in several towns near the US border ~ in TX, NM, AZ and CA ~ and I have seen many illegals standing around waiting for day work and MANY, MANY of them are seen talking or texting.

Okay, but times I have big to Big Bend or along the border in Texas and NM, I cannot get cell reception. That is perhaps one of the greatest things about Big Bend.
