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.

Border documentary cheered at S.D. screening

A documentary that depicts the U.S.-Mexico border as a conduit for crime and drug trafficking made its San Diego debut this week.

Cheered on by a standing-room-only audience in an AMC Mission Valley 20 theater Wednesday night, the film described the porous border as a problem “that no one wants to talk about.”

“Border War: The Battle over Illegal Immigration,” profiles five people, including San Diego resident Enrique Morones. He is the founder of Border Angels, a faith-based volunteer group that leaves food and water in the desert for illegal immigrants crossing the border.

The film emphasizes the ease with which criminals can enter the United States. For example, it includes footage of an underground tunnel in which cartels passed drugs from Mexico to Arizona.
