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.

A Question for You!

Commentary by the MissionaryMan

Everyday at the border of San Luis, AZ and San Luis Rio Colorado, Sonora, Mexico, located due south of Yuma, AZ, dozens and dozens of children can be seen returning from a day attending the public schools - elementary, Junior and Senior High - as they cross the border into Mexico where they live.

How is it that children from a foreign country are able to attend school in the USA with residing in that country?

Are they all paying tuition to attend school in the USA? I seriously doubt it.

Someone with the know-how and the resources needs to check into this. If it is happenings here, it has to be happening in other border towns and I hear of no one - the press, the government, the school districts- addressing this issue.

I would appreciate some input on this.

The pictures are those that I took at the border just two days ago. I counted about 40 elementary aged children. I was not able to stay for the full return of the older students but counted at least that many in the first 15 minutes after school let out.

Many are being picked up and driven across as well.
