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.

Bush reaffirms vow to build border fence

WASHINGTON – Seeking to reassure anxious conservatives, President Bush vowed yesterday to fence off the most vulnerable portions of the U.S.-Mexican border with a 700-mile barrier that would consist of physical and electronic “virtual” components.

The president's remarks during a news conference in the Rose Garden came on the heels of growing doubts among many fellow Republicans about the administration's commitment to erecting a Congress-approved physical barrier to block the routes most favored by smugglers sneaking illegal immigrants across the nearly 2,000-mile border.

Those concerns have been stoked by reports that Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff favors a high-tech solution utilizing motion detectors and other kinds of sensors, cameras, ground-based radars and a variety of computer-driven devices to help police the border.
