Mexicans to Give GPS Units to Illegal Border Crossers

The kabuki dance along the southern U.S. border just gets sillier and sillier:
Mexicans planning to cross the border into the United States will be issued with satellite tracking devices by their Government to make sure they arrive safely.

It is estimated more than 1 million people cross the border illegally into the US each year.

How many of them die in the dangerous four-day trip across the desert is not known but it is believed to be in the hundreds.

Now, those who get lost or fall behind will activate a hand-held satellite device, alerting frontier police on either side of the border.

Mexican authorities expect to hand out about 200,000 devices in the coming year.
I guess as they cross the border they can turn the devices in to the National Guardmen who are standing around with nothing to do. I'm sure the Mexican government will then demand the return of their property, but not their citizens.

Build the fence.
