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.

Out-of-state troops to launch on Arizona-Mexico border

PHOENIX (AP) -- The first wave of National Guard troops to be stationed along the Arizona-Mexico border under President Bush's mandate will not come from Arizona, officials said Friday.

Troops with the Arizona National Guard won't be ready to deploy until after June 12, said Lt. Paul Aguirre, a Guard spokesman.

National Guard Lt. Gen. Steven Blum told lawmakers in Washington on Wednesday that 800 National Guard soldiers would be deployed to the four border states around June 1. He said 200 soldiers would go to each state.

The first Guard soldiers headed for the Mexican border with Arizona will instead probably come from nearby states, said Pati Urias, a spokeswoman with Gov. Janet Napolitano's office.
