Texting Immigrants to Go Home

Stumbled upon this interesting little tid-bit. So Governments of 1st world countries are thinking about sending text messages to illegal immigrants to remind them that they have to go home. Is that crazy or what? I mean, who would have guessed or dreamt up such a scheme? I mean I can just see the picture now: your an immigrant toiling away picking fruit in some orchard when all of a sudden your cell phone gets a text: Please Go Home. So you drop your gear and go pack all your stuff - I don't see that happening. Sounds like Big Brother is going to be a nagging older sibling as well, great!
