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.

Goldwater's issue: Immigration

Will famous name help border campaign?

Don Goldwater is talking illegal immigration.

Again.

It has been this way almost non-stop since the Republican announced his candidacy for governor just over a year ago. On this day, Goldwater, 51, of Laveen, is running down his border security plan. He wants National Guard troops. A wall. Technology that would make it possible to peer across miles of countryside and deep into Mexico.

And he wants it now. Because, for Goldwater, there is no more time for talk and negotiation and half-measures. The need is urgent, he says, and he explains why by linking illegal immigration to nearly every Arizona woe short of roof rats.

"It encompasses everything. A lot of these people coming across are entering into the gangs. A lot of the women coming across are going into prostitution. You've got a real problem in the medical field."
