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.

Honeywell's Aerospace division has broken ground in Mexicali on a $40 million systems integration lab where Mexican engineers will develop technologies for future commercial aircraft.

The lab represents a significant jump up the technological ladder for foreign investment in Baja California. Instead of manufacturing, like that performed by more than 1,000 maquiladora factories in the state, the Honeywell lab will develop and test a wide range of airplane flight systems.

Bill Reavis, the spokesman for Honeywell Aerospace, said the facility was “designed to demonstrate a wide range of electric power subsystems and components and will have full-scale simulation of multiple aircraft systems.”

Honeywell's clients include airplane manufacturers such as Boeing, Airbus, and Bombardier.
