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.

4 entrants' bodies bring total to 77

ARIZONA DAILY STAR

Border Patrol agents discovered the bodies of three people believed to be illegal border crossers over the weekend on the Tohono O'odham Reservation.

Then, on Monday afternoon, Pima County sheriff's deputies found the body of a man believed to be an illegal entrant in the desert west of Tucson near North Reservation and West Mile Wide roads, said Deputy Dawn Barkman, a department spokeswoman.

That brings to 77 the number of known illegal entrant deaths in the U.S. Border Patrol's Tucson Sector in the 2006 fiscal year, which began Oct. 1.

The discoveries put the grim tally ahead of last year's record-setting pace of 74 known deaths during the same period, said Border Patrol spokesman Gustavo Soto. Deaths often rise this time of year as temperatures go up, Soto said.
