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.

35 extra prosecutors to work on smuggling, immigration cases

U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said yesterday he is adding 35 prosecutors to San Diego and other southern border regions to focus exclusively on immigration and drug cases.

“We will have the capacity to prosecute more alien smuggling cases, more criminal alien re-entry cases and more human trafficking cases on the border,” Gonzales said while announcing the additional prosecutors in Albuquerque, N.M.

Some criticized the announcement as a token move, but local authorities said it would help with a crush of border crime.
