Mexico arming Illegals with GPS to aid in law-breaking
Government officials in Mexico have approved a plan to issue Mexicans crossing the US border illegally satellite tracking devices [Sunday Telegraph report] to ensure their safe arrival in the United States. Even with a knowledgeable guide — called a "coyote" — paid to lead the way, it is believed that hundreds of migrants die during the arduous four-day trek across the desert. The tracking device will alert border patrol forces on both sides of the frontier of those who get lost or fall behind. Approximately, 200,000 devices are expected to be assigned this year. Australia's ABC News has more.

The more I hear this the more a trench filled with used motor oil set on fire sounds like a good barrier to keep out the criminals.
Oh! I've got it, simple.
M249 SAWs setup every one hundred yards linked to motion sensors, whatever moves on the Mexico side gets sprayed, the same technology used for the Phalanx CIWS would be perfect.
