News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

Mexican Soldiers Helped Smugglers Along Border, Lawmakers Told

Feb. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Mexican soldiers have illegally entered the U.S. and fired at Border Patrol agents, sometimes in support of drug-smuggling operations, a Texas law enforcement officer and a union official told a congressional panel today.

Armed soldiers have entered the U.S. on at least three occasions in recent years, the officials said, and last month soldiers in military vehicles helped drug smugglers flee back across the border after being chased by deputy sheriffs.

``We have a problem with a wide-open and unsecured border,'' Arvin West, sheriff of Hudspeth County, Texas, said in prepared testimony before the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Investigations.
