Mexican Group Gives U.S. Border Maps To Illegal Immigrants

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff is blasting a Mexican group's plan to distribute maps to illegal immigrants crossing into the United States.The National Human Rights Commission promises at least 70,000 maps showing highways, rescue beacons and water tanks in the Arizona desert. The government-funded Mexican group says the maps will guide people out of trouble and cut the rising immigrant deaths. The maps also warn against attempting the dangerous trek. But Chertoff says the maps will encourage immigration. He calls that "a bad idea." A spokesman for the Mexican embassy in Washington says his government doesn't encourage undocumented immigration "in any way." But he says Mexican and U.S. officials have to "face it" that they haven't worked out legal and safe means of migration. (HUH?)
