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.

Many border town officials say Guard help is welcomed

When President Bush visits Yuma Thursday to tout his immigration ideas, most Southern Arizona border officials will endorse his call for thousands of National Guard boots on the border.

"It's the right approach. That's additional eyes and ears," said Yuma Mayor Lawrence K. Nelson.

"I basically welcome the National Guard to help the Border Patrol," said Cochise County Supervisor Richard R. Searle. "We see on a daily basis the frustration of the Border Patrol."

It's not just Border Patrol agents who have been frustrated. Residents along the Arizona- Mexico border have grown impatient with the federal government in recent years as undocumented immigrants have damaged their yards, ranches and neighborhoods and left mounds of trash.
