Two professors working on a controversial cell phone tool that could help guide illegal immigrants safely across the border say they want to deploy the devices as soon as next summer, the North County Times reported.

Hundreds die each year attempting to cross the border illegally. University of California, San Diego professor Ricardo Dominguez and his partner in the project said they hope to give people cell phones they can use in an emergency to prevent deaths.

After it's downloaded into Motorola phones equipped with GPS, it's a humanitarian tool designed to save lives, said the application's creators at UCSD.

"It's really just designed for you to turn it on, and the compass would show you where is the nearest safety site -- be that Border Patrol or highway or water -- in case you're in extreme emergency," said co-creator Micha Cardenas.

“Owning a handgun doesn’t make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician.”

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
