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 Gunmen Kill Police Officer

NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico (AP) -- Assailants firing assault rifles killed a Nuevo Laredo police officer and wounded his partner, the 11th law enforcement official to be gunned down this year in this violent border city, authorities said Friday.

Police tracked the alleged gunmen to a hideout, where one suspect was killed and two wounded in a shootout, officials said.

The death of the officer brings to 116 the number of people slain this year in Nuevo Laredo, a city of 300,000 across the Rio Grande from Laredo, Texas.

The city is in the midst of a turf battle between drug cartels battling for billion-dollar drug routes into the United States
