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.

TIJUANA – Mexican federal authorities believe $3.2 million found inside a plane in the Mexican border city of Mexicali belonged to a drug group headed by Joaquín Guzmán Loera.

The cash was found Aug. 5, and three people linked to the Cessna TU206-F plane are being questioned, according to a news release provided yesterday by the Mexican Attorney General's Office.

Although federal authorities didn't say where the plane was heading, an official with the Mexican Attorney General's Office in Tijuana, who declined to be named because of his agency's strict public comment policy, said the plane was returning to the Mexican state of Sinaloa.
