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.

New President Felipe Calderón on Wednesday shook hands with immigrants coming home for the holidays in Nogales, Son., and promised to defend their rights in the United States.

But unlike his predecessor, Vicente Fox, Calderón has made clear his administration will focus more on creating jobs to keep Mexicans home rather than concentrate solely on a U.S. immigration accord to create a legal path for millions of Mexicans to work in the U.S.

"The generation of well-paid jobs is the only long-lasting solution to the migration problem," Calderón said before greeting immigrants in cars packed with Christmas gifts at the crossing along the border.
