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 rescues seven since start of holiday weekend

FROM STAFF REPORTS
Jan 3, 2007

U.S. Border Patrol agents came to the aid of distressed or injured people in seven separate rescue operations since the New Year's holiday weekend began, the agency reported Wednesday.

The most recent rescue involved two illegal immigrants who tried to cross the Salinity Canal just east of San Luis, Ariz., about 3:40 a.m. Wednesday, said agency spokesman Lloyd Easterling.

A camera operator at the Yuma sector Communications Center spotted the duo as they entered the canal but were unable to climb out. Border Patrol agents were dispatched to the scene, and the two people were pulled from the canal. No injuries were reported, and the two were taken to the Yuma Border Patrol Station for processing, Easterling said.
