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.

MEXICO CITY - Immigration emerged as a potentially hot issue in the Mexican presidential campaign Tuesday as candidates criticized President Vicente Fox for not protesting the U.S. decision to put National Guard troops on the border.

Fox can't run for re-election but is supporting his conservative National Action Party's candidate, Felipe Calderon, the president's former energy minister.

Whether Fox's caution before the Americans will hurt the front-runner Calderon politically is unclear, but analysts said opposition candidates seized on the Fox response to criticize the president and his party.

"I think the approach of this government on border issues continues to be very, very wrong, because rather than defending Mexicans, what they are doing is inhibiting investment," said Roberto Madrazo, candidate of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI.
