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.

More than one ton of marijuana was seized at the border Friday, according to a report from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection office.

A CBP drug dog led officers to a tractor-trailer filled with squash during a routine sweep at the Dennis DeConcini Port of Entry in Nogales, said CBP Officer Brian Levin. Agents found much more than squash in the truck.

About 3,000 pounds of pot worth an estimated $3 million was hidden between the pallets, Levin said, adding this is the latest in a series of significant marijuana seizures at the port.
