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.

Authorities counting fetus as rollover victim

FROM STAFF AND AP REPORTS

The death toll from an Aug. 7 rollover accident involving illegal immigrants is now at 11 after authorities added the death of a pregnant woman’s fetus to the count, a Yuma County sheriff’s spokesman said Monday.

Sheriff’s Maj. Leon Wilmot said the woman was determined to be seven or eight months pregnant at the time of her death.

"It's my understanding, after speaking with accident investigators, that they have in the past requested charges be filed in this type of situation," Wilmot said. "When you have a fetus this far into term it's considered another victim."
