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.

Mexican President Unifies Police Command

By MARK STEVENSON
Associated Press Writer

MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Mexican President Felipe Calderon on Friday named a single commander for two federal police agencies and appointed a former peace negotiator with the Zapatista rebels as head of Indian affairs.

Ardelio Vargas, previously chief of staff at the Federal Preventative Police, was named as commissioner of both that force and the Federal Investigative Agency.

The preventative force is largely used to police riots and for routine patrols, while the investigative force probes and puts together criminal cases. Many experts argue it would be better to have a single agency that does both.
