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.

President Bush, speaking in Yuma today, said Congress must pass a comprehensive immigration plan that provides not only for increased border security but also grants some illegal immigrants already in the country a path toward eventual citizenship.

Granting legal residency or citizenship is not amnesty, as some critics have claimed, but "a rational way" to deal with the nation's immigration woes, Bush said in a speech to news media and state and local officials gathered at the U.S. Border Patrol's Yuma sector headquarters.

"I strongly believe Congress needs to pass a comprehensive immigration program," Bush said.
