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.

MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Felipe Calderon spoke of his hopes for a U.S. immigration accord Friday, while his leftist rival laid plans to deny him the presidency and urged supporters to take to the streets to protest the election results.

Meeting with foreign reporters, Calderon said he hoped to reach an accord with Washington leading eventually to the legalization of millions of undocumented Mexicans living in the U.S. - something that eluded Mexico's outgoing president and draws strong opposition to the north.

The conservative politician also said he would seek help for Mexican farmers who will be hurt when a clause under the North American Free Trade allows U.S. corn and bean imports in 2008.
