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.

Crosser is shot, left in desert drug area

A Mexican man was shot Wednesday morning near the border by a group reportedly looking for drugs in an area the Santa Cruz County sheriff said is frequently used for smuggling.

Andres Encinas Bustamante, 38, of Nogales, Sonora, was shot twice in his upper left leg and had lost a lot of blood before a Border Patrol helicopter found him, said Santa Cruz County Sheriff Tony Estrada. He was in stable condition at a Tucson hospital Wednesday afternoon.

The agents found Bustamante about 20 miles north of the border near Interstate 19, Estrada said. "The area is well known for a lot of drug-trafficking activity, at least movement, and human smuggling as well," he said.
