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.

DEA finds tunnel in Calexico area

UNION-TRIBUNE

The Drug Enforcement Administration announced last night that it has discovered a tunnel under the U.S.-Mexico border in Imperial County that apparently was used for smuggling drugs.

The 400-foot tunnel reaches between a residence in Calexico and a residence in Mexicali, Mexico, said John S. Fernandes, DEA special agent in charge.

It is about 20 feet underground, equipped with lighting and bolstered with wooden beams every few feet. It is accessed with a ladder.

The DEA was uncertain what group was using the tunnel, he said.
