MEXICO CITY - Mexico's human rights agency says it will give out detailed maps of the Arizona desert, including rescue beacons and water stations, to guide migrants safely through the most popular and deadliest corridor into the United States.

The maps were designed by a Tucson-based group, Humane Borders, which plans to hold a joint press conference today with the National Human Rights Commission in Mexico City to announce its strategy.

Two rights commission officials confirmed the quasi-governmental agency had agreed to print and distribute the maps through its state offices to reach Mexican migrants before they ever leave their hometowns.

Once again I'm reminded of Carlos Mencia; he believes that to assist illegals in crossing the border will only allow the more hapless and dimwitted ones to flood the area. The ones that can get here without any help, work without any leeching, and keep from getting tossed back are the smart ones, the clever ones that we need to have.

This is ridiculous, though. But then again, free speech is free speech.

Could this be a blessing in disguise?

Shouldn't this tend to concentrate the illegals towards certain crossing points? Shouldn't that make it that much easier to catch them? I mean, if they are publishing this information and spreading it out among the illegals as they would have to do for it to have any effect, shouldn't it also be easy to obtain a copy of it for enforcement purposes? If they are concentrating at known crossover points, shouldn't that make it that much easier for the grossly understaffed Border Patrol to concentrate on those known points than to have to patrol much larger areas? Seems to me like if the crossing points and water points are known, then it should be relatively simple to patrol those areas and catch the lot of them.

OTOH, the smart ones -- and the real criminal element among them, along with any potential terrorists -- would most likely be smart enough to not use the obvious routes, and those are the most worrysome of the border crossers. So, you'd still have to patrol the whole border.

A well patrolled wall still sounds best to me.
