That’s right. We taxpayers are to provide cellular service or Sat phones to people who may be in an area along the border that is perceived as dangerous. So does the immigration bill say that in addition to some folks providing maps to the USA and water stations in the desert that WE’LL now be on the hook for giving illegal aliens cell phones? 

Sounds like it. From Shark Tank via Breitbart we read,

Pages 43 and 44 of the bill detail what one conservative blogger, Javier Manjarres of Shark Tank, has already described as the “ObamaPhone” from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL). That section reads:

SEC. 1107. ACCESS TO EMERGENCY PERSONNEL.
(a) SOUTHWEST BORDER REGION EMERGENCY COM- MUNICATIONS GRANTS.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—The Secretary, in consultation with the governors of the States in the South- west Border region, shall establish a 2-year grant program, to be administered by the Secretary, to im- prove emergency communications in the Southwest Border region.
(2) ELIGIBILITY FOR GRANTS.—An individual is eligible to receive a grant under this subsection if the individual demonstrates that he or she—

What’s next, taxpayer supported cell towers to make sure the phones work?
