Family Security Matters » Publications » Exclusive: Illegal Border Crossing? There’s a Cell Phone App for That

A number of people forwarded me the link to this news report that appeared on the website of the NBC affiliated television program in San Diego, California. This report should be of huge concern – not only to the residents of California but to Americans across this nation.
According to the article, students at UCSD (University of California at San Diego) are preparing software that will enable cell phones that have a GPS capability to guide illegal aliens across the border and into the United States. In essence, this program would turn inexpensive cell phones into a sort of electronic smuggler.
I was a member of the original Anti-Smuggling Unit at the New York City District Office of the former INS in the late 1970s and I can assure you that I am no friend of smugglers. There are few criminals that are nearly as vile and reprehensible as are smugglers. They often beat and rape the aliens who seek their assistance and will move any contraband for the right price. Smugglers are generally extremely violent and are responsible for the inundation of our nation with narcotics as well as illegal aliens, among who are members of violent gangs and drug trafficking organizations. I am confident that smugglers have also assisted terrorist sympathizers in crossing our nation's borders without detection.
However, the solution to the violence of the pernicious smugglers is certainly not to provide a "high tech" alternative to those whose goal is to eradicate our nation's borders.
According to the Immigration and Nationality Act, anyone who aids or encourages illegal aliens to enter our country in violation of law is violating the provisions of Title 8 of the United States Code, Section 1324.
