Mexico's Bright Idea

This is something. The Mexican government is studying the feasability of manufacturing and handing out free GPS tracking devices to citizens wanting to sneak into the United States illegally. The idea is that the illegal immigrants could activate the devices if they get in trouble crossing the desert, and their locations could be forwarded to U.S. Border Patrol agents who could then easily track down and rescue them. A spokesman for the Mexican government denied that such a program would encourage illegal immigration.
