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.

NOGALES, Son. - Their wounds tell of their journey.

Embedded cactus spines. Twisted ankles. Misshapen feet covered with blisters and inflamed fungal infections from days in the rain.

Each day, the U.S. Border Patrol deposits hundred of immigrants across the border in Nogales after catching them as they try to enter the United States illegally.

Despite what may seem as if it is the end of the road on this dusty patch just beyond the Mariposa Port of Entry, few give up their quest after the U.S. government ejects them so close to the promised land and so far from home.
