Google Maps Are A Great Tool For Illegal Immigrants To Dodge Border Patrol

Google Maps, which is an admirable tool to help people navigate from any point to any other, is now found being used for another 'admirable' purpose---to track locations of other people too. A number of Google maps give details of border patrol checkpoints and stations in the U.S.-Mexico border. Its target is to help illegal aliens  avoid patrol.

Now here is this map titled "Routes to Avoid," which has over 650,000 views. With "Google My Maps," users are able to create and publish helpful guides! One of them was marked with a number of checkpoints and border stations in the U.S.-Mexico border.

This revelation is worrying, but not unusual in a day and age in which information is free and borderless. Even Trump cannot build walls on a border that is virtually available for everyone to see.

"These are known locations of known border patrol checkpoints some are permanent and some are temporary; these can be placed along stretches of highway near the border zone," the map's description reads.

There are a number of details in which every marker has a brief explanation associated with a link leading to another map or giving details about some place.

There is a "Related Maps" button that shows the connections   to a number of maps that give information about particular sectors of the border. Some of them are publicly told while others are just based on facts experienced, heard or on rumours.
