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.

Monica Ramos, the wife of one of the two U.S. Border Patrol agents who began serving prison sentences last week for shooting a drug smuggler in the buttocks, watched the State of the Union address Tuesday from the Capitol gallery as a guest of Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif.

Ramos was invited by the congressman in an effort to urge the president to grant pardons for the two former agents. They have become a rallying cause for immigration reform advocates and conservative lawmakers who say the judge and the U.S. attorney in the case trumped up the charges.
