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.

Bush to hear from Arizona congressmen on visit to Yuma

By JENNIFER TALHELM

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush could get an earful - and some mixed messages - on the plane to Yuma from Arizona's U.S. House members, who see the effects of illegal immigration daily and have taken vastly different positions on how to control the border.

Bush is visiting Yuma Thursday as part of his effort to persuade Congress to overhaul the nation's troubled immigration policy by creating a guest worker program for foreigners.

But on the plane, he may feel like he has been dropped in the middle of a family squabble.

Among Bush's guests on Air Force One will be Arizona Republican Reps. J.D. Hayworth, Jeff Flake and Jim Kolbe, who have become prominent players in the immigration debate - on opposing sides.
