Ad campaign warns illegal immigrants about desert crossings
May 19, 2005, 01:24 PM
The Mexican Consulate in Tucson will be running TV, radio and print ads warning would-be illegal immigrants about the dangers of crossing the border in Arizona.
The ads, which will appear in Spanish-language media outlets throughout Arizona and the Mexican border state of Sonora, include testimonials from family members whose relatives have died, women who have been attacked and children who have been abandoned by smugglers.
"We hope people will see these ads and decide not to cross, or convince their loved ones not to cross," said Juan Calderon, the Mexican consul in Tucson.
Scores of illegal immigrants die each year while trying to cross Arizona's deserts during the summer, many of heat exposure.
Migrants also fall prey to border bandits and smugglers who either abandon them in hostile terrain or hold them hostage while trying to extort more money from the crossers' family members.

The owner of the station should be tried under provisions of the Patriot Act, The Sedition Act, for treason and subversion. This is CRIMINAL. Who is paying for the ads, V. Fox Inc? Even if it is supposed to be to help save lives, it will just make them take another route.
