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.

Navarrette: Fox's birthplace gaffe rings true for Mexico's elite

RUBEN NAVARRETTE Jr.

Published: 11.24.2006

Mexican President Vicente Fox recently raised eyebrows north of the border when he said that Mexicans ought to be grateful for their heritage and asked them to imagine what life would be like had they been born in - gasp! - the United States.

Well, for one thing, they'd have a much shorter commute to work.

No doubt about it. Fox has the gift of gaffe.

He compared a fence along the U.S.-Mexican border to "the Berlin Wall," boasted that Mexican immigrants in the U.S. are "doing jobs that not even blacks want to do," called border enforcement measures "disgraceful and shameful," and characterized the Minuteman Project as a bunch of "migrant-hunting" vigilantes.
