THE TRANSBORDER IMMIGRANT TOOL HELPS MEXICANS CROSS OVER SAFELY
(An Interview)

4 Transborder Cell Phone Video Meditations

The Transborder Immigrant Tool (TBT) does not offer a scan bounce signal
for triangulation (you would have to use it as a cell phone for that to
occur- a dire emergency contingency that is recommended). A single GPS
bounce with a "no airport" setting establishes compass mode. The issues of
where water is located, support communities, etc., would only be available
for access for a few days - the information would have to be refreshed
before it could be initiated and warnings in multiple languages will be
issued:

It is also important to understand that the tool is also a discursive
engine that foregrounds the possibilities for locative media and a
disturbance of the social fields that gather around the question of the
border and those who cross it.
Also, worth reading the comments section at
