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.

Border Patrol agents find third drop house in Yuma this week

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHOENIX - Agents with the U.S. Border Patrol on Friday discovered its third illegal immigrant drop house in Yuma in less than a week.

Agents with the Yuma sector of the Border Patrol received a tip about the drop house, in which they found 14 illegal Mexican immigrants, a .25-caliber pistol and $8,520 in cash, according to an agency press release.

The house was filthy and full of garbage, the agency said.

Agents were working to identify who among the group was the smuggler.

On Sunday, agents found 93 illegal immigrants in a drop house and a rear utility shed after getting an anonymous tip.

Many of the immigrants were women and children who said they had been in the house for two days. Agents described the inside of the home as garbage-strewn and sweltering, with all the windows closed.
