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.

New border policy debated

Some say passports will ease crossing

New procedures expected to start in January 2008 that will require all U.S. citizens and foreigners entering the United States to have passports could help speed traffic through area ports of entry, Adele Fasano, the local director of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, predicted this week.

Many San Diego and Baja California political and civic leaders disagree. They fear that waits currently averaging more than an hour only will grow, thus harming the border economy.

“It doesn't take much to make that border wait totally intolerable,” said Ron Raposa, public relations director for the Rosarito Convention and Visitors Bureau. “We keep being told things are going to get better, and it just gets worse.”
