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.

In his last report to the 8th District after 22 years in Congress, U.S. Rep. Jim Kolbe said the problems affecting Southern Arizona are a more intense microcosm of the problems Americans face as a whole.

Specifically, Kolbe cited Illegal immigration, sharp increases in the cost of health care and the future crush of entitlement programs as problems that are magnified in Pima and Cochise counties.
He laid out several ways to deal with these and other problems while also injecting a bit of humor in his last State of the 8th District speech at the Tucson Convention Center.
