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.

A crosser's warning

Man joins Mexico in telling would-be entrants of dangers
By Carmen Duarte
ARIZONA DAILY STAR

ADS Editor's note: A version of this story appeared this week in La Estrella de Tucsón, the Arizona Daily Star's weekly Spanish publication.

Mexico's annual media blitz to try to convince people not to try to cross illegally into the United States kicks off today.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is using print, television and radio campaigns in Mexico and the United States to warn Mexicans about the dangers involved in trying to cross the Arizona desert during summer's blistering heat.

Forty-six Mexican consulate offices in the U.S. are participating in the campaign and are coming up with their own literature, posters and slogans to get the word out, said Alejandro Ramos Cardoso, a spokesman for the Tucson Mexican Consulate.

The campaign will last through Sept. 30.
