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.

U.S. Border Patrol agents rescued a man from the Colorado River Sunday night after they were alerted by members of the National Guard who saw him in distress.

Guard members deployed along the river near Yuma in support roles as part of Operation Jump Start saw the man in the water near County Eighth Street at 9:15 p.m., according to a Yuma sector Border Patrol release.

"They were performing their observation when they saw the man struggling in the water and heard him cry out for help," said Border Patrol spokesman Lloyd Easterling. "They did what they're supposed to do. They called the Border Patrol."
