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.

Two teenagers were arrested for allegedly trying to smuggle more than 200 pounds of marijuana in separate cases at the Paso del Norte Bridge, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials said on Friday.

The first seizure was made Jan. 20, when border officers found 48 pounds of marijuana hidden in the bumper of a 1997 Mitsubishi driven by a 17-year-old boy from El Paso.

On Wednesday, officers discovered 164 pounds of marijuana in the rear quarter panels of a Chevrolet Avalanche driven by a 16-year-old boy from Juárez.

Both teens, whose names were not released, were turned over to the El Paso Police Department.
