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.

Crackdown border bill OK'd

State police as immigration agents, grants to help offset the cost of illegal immigration and sanctions for Arizona businesses that hire illegal workers.

The Arizona Senate on Tuesday approved a sweeping bill that supporters called a needed crackdown on illegal immigration but critics called a paper tiger in some respects and unfair in others.

Key elements of the Republican-drafted, $160 million proposal would pay for sending National Guard troops to the border, criminalize illegal immigrants' presence in Arizona, bar illegal immigrants from receiving certain public services and impose new sanctions on employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants.
