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.

Trespass law for border security loses steam

Republicans balk at costs related to entrant arrests

PHOENIX — An increasing number of Republicans are balking at putting a new trespass law into a comprehensive border security package.

A two-hour meeting of House Republicans on Monday found support for funding border radar and for sanctions against companies that knowingly hire undocumented workers. And there appears to be consensus to fund National Guard troops in Southern Arizona without a provision that Gov. Janet Napolitano finds unconstitutional.

But enough Republicans balked at creating a new law to let state and local police arrest illegal immigrants that it appears not to have the 31 votes needed for approval by the House.

Much of the reason is money.
