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.

Border Patrol agents setting new pot seizure records

FROM STAFF AND AP REPORTS
Jan 3, 2007

Border Patrol agents seized over 1,300 pounds of marijuana early Tuesday morning east of the San Luis port-of-entry. Agents are setting new records for marijuana seizures in the Yuma area and all along the Arizona-Mexico border, said Lloyd Easterling, a spokesman for the patrol.

In the 2006 fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, agents assigned to the patrol's Yuma sector seized 46,115 pounds of pot, setting a new record for the sector that extends from the southeasternmost corner of California to the Yuma-Pima County line, said Easterling, sector spokesman.

In Tuesday's bust, agents also seized a stolen vehicle, and arrested two suspected smugglers connected to the crime, Easterling said.
