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.

Border Patrol agents in the El Paso region seized over a ton of marijuana over the weekend.

The single largest seizure was 1,003 pounds of marijuana found in a pickup near Tornillo on Saturday evening. The pickup, which was stolen in Albuquerque, crossed the border illegally and was pursued by agents until the driver abandoned the truck on a dirt road. The driver, a 25-year-old Mexican citizen, ran away but was caught due to the use of an infrared camera by a Texas National Guard soldier.

In New Mexico, agents seized 1,038 pounds of marijuana in seven separate cases.
