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.

Proposal may send Mexican relations into turmoil

MEXICO CITY - Dispatching troops to the U.S.-Mexican border could backfire in Mexico by giving a nasty black eye to President Vicente Fox, fueling anti-American sentiment and helping presidential candidates who are less friendly to the United States, analysts said Monday.

President Bush's announcements on immigration provoked another round of eye-rolling in Mexico City, where officials have grown cynical about the United States' increasingly drastic border-security measures and the failure of Congress to overhaul U.S. immigration laws.

"The migration problem can only be resolved by way of comprehensive reform . . . not through any police or judicial action," presidential spokesman Rubén Aguilar said on Monday, repeating a phrase that has almost become a mantra in Los Pinos, the Mexican presidential mansion.
