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.

Congressional Republicans meeting in San Diego County yesterday said tough border controls were vital for national security as House and Senate committees sought to build public support for rival approaches to immigration reform at dueling bicoastal hearings.

“It's elementary that to defend ourselves against our determined and resourceful enemies, our border must be secured,” said Rep. Ed Royce, R-Fullerton, as he convened an unusual hearing of the House International Relations subcommittee on international terrorism and nonproliferation yesterday at the Imperial Beach Border Patrol Station.

Democrats denounced the four-hour hearing as a charade.

“These hearings are not designed to legislate,” said Rep. Brad Sherman of Sherman Oaks, the panel's ranking Democrat. “They're designed to whip up public opinion. The hearings that our subcommittee (are) having here today have been swallowed up by this political agenda.”
