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.

CBP Border Patrol Agents Rescue 15 People From Extreme Weather

Tuesday, January 16, 2007

Edinburg, Texas —U.S. Customs and Border Protection Border Patrol agents from the Rio Grande Valley sector rescued a total of 15 people in three separate incidents all involving individuals who had been exposed to low temperatures.

The most significant rescue occurred on January 15 when agents assigned to the Falfurrias Border Patrol station responded to a citizen’s call concerning a group of people walking through a local ranch. When the agents arrived a group of people ran, leaving one female subject lying on the ground. The female was conscious but unresponsive. Local emergency services responded and transported the subject to the Kleberg County Airport where she was airlifted to Shore Memorial Hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas. The subject is still recovering from hypothermia after being resuscitated three times.
