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.

Guatemalans migrating to Phoenix

The Arizona Republic
Published: 11.29.2006

Metropolitan Phoenix is becoming a new destination for Guatemalans who are often escaping civil and political instability, looking for better-paying jobs and joining family living in the United States.

Mexicans are still dominant in the state's immigrant community, but thousands of Latin Americans are moving to metropolitan Phoenix from home countries and other parts of the United States, lured by jobs, affordability and safety.

The Guatemalan government, which recently opened a consulate in Phoenix, estimates that 30,000 to 35,000 Guatemalans live in Arizona, mostly in metro Phoenix.
