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.

Immigration sweeps could pose legal, logistical problems

Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS -- Even if some of the people who march in immigration protests like one in Indianapolis last month are illegal immigrants, police and federal agents aren't likely to start making mass arrests at such events.

"All Americans have a right to demonstrate for redress of grievances. You can't just pick up someone on the suspicion they're illegal," Assistant U.S. Attorney Tim Morrison told The Indianapolis Star for a Sunday story.

After some 20,000 people marched in immigration protests April 11 in Indianapolis and South Bend, U.S. Rep. John Hostettler, R-Ind., and others questioned why authorities didn't sweep the crowds for illegal immigrants.
