Ayuda, he caído y no puedo levantarme. - Help, I've fallen and I can't get up
Not only is Obama rolling out the red-carpet for illegals, is signing them up for Obamacare, going around Congress and giving them amnesty, he's now putting up safety beacons along the border to, according the the administration, to keep them from dying in the desert during their trip into the United States.
There are also plans on using helicopters to lift illegals out of danger and bring them into the U.S.
The beacons look similar to this......the actual photos, for some strange reason, cannot be cut and pasted.

This is all innocent of course, purely for humanitarian reasons I'm sure. Not because Democrats have opened up the borders and need a new flood of illegals to totally change the demographics of this country and assure that they'll control politics in this country for generations, destroying the economy as well. Nope, not happening.

Desert rescue beacons let immigrants call for help | azfamily.com Phoenix
PHOENIX (AP) -- Thorn-coated bushes, rock-covered terrain, scorching temperatures. A hissing rattlesnake.
These are just few of the many perils Mexican migrants crossing the Southern Arizona desert encounter every day. And far more of them will attempt to cross this summer, the U.S. Border Patrol predicts.
The agency unveiled its plans Wednesday for dealing with the problem of immigrants dying in the desert, including 10 new beacons that allow migrants to call for help at the push of a red button. The agency is also adding new hoisting systems on helicopters to rescue immigrants.
Officials from the Tucson sector on Wednesday gave reporters, government officials and immigration activists a demonstration of the latest tools they have to assist those who cross from Mexico into Arizona and get injured or dehydrated and cannot continue walking. The demonstration was held 20 miles north of the Sasabe port of entry to Mexico, southwest of Tucson, and included a nearly one-mile hike through rough terrain where migrants often cross.
The border patrol says it sees a steep increase in calls for help coming from its 22 beacons as the summer approaches.
"It's either they live or die. They make the call right away," agent Ricardo Cardiel said.
The beacons are 30-feet-tall and solar powered. They have sun reflectors and blue lights on top that are visible for 10 miles. The beacons have signs in three languages that direct users to push a red button that sends out a signal for help. Response times vary from 10 minutes to an hour depending on where the nearest agents are located.
Border Patrol to show off desert rescue beacons
PHOENIX (AP) -- U.S. Border Patrol officials plan to show off the agency's latest technology in rescue towers that are placed in remote desert regions across the Southwest.
The beacons are placed along routes commonly traveled by immigrants trying to cross into the U.S. illegally from Mexico. If they find themselves in a dangerous predicament, the person can press a button on the tower that alerts authorities of their location.
Border Patrol officials specially trained in rescue and medical operations then respond.
The agency plans a media event for Wednesday morning in the desert south of Tucson to highlight the dangers immigrants face when crossing rugged, remote terrain in sometimes triple-digit heat while also facing potential abuse or worse at the hands of smugglers.
