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.

Update: Two dead, six injured fleeing border patrol

DAVID L. TEIBEL

A 13-year-old boy has become the second person to die from injuries sustained this morning in an SUV rollover on the Tohono O'odham Nation as the driver fled a U.S. Border Patrol agent and Tohono O'odham police, border patrol spokesmen said.

The boy died at a hospital some time after the crash on South Mission Road near West Valencia Road, said Senior Border Patrol Agent Jim Hawkins.

The crash also injured three woman and three men, Supervisory Border Patrol Agent Jesus Rodriguez said earlier today.

An agent spotted the SUV heading north on Mission south of West Valencia Road and for some reason, Rodriguez said, the agent suspected the SUV was carrying drugs or illegal immigrants, turned on his emergency lights and siren and tried to pull over the SUV.
