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.

FBI could add immigration violators to DNA database

USA TODAY

WASHINGTON - The federal government could add DNA from tens of thousands of immigration violators, terrorism suspects and others accused, but not convicted, of federal offenses to the FBI's crime-fighting database under a plan being finalized by the Justice Department.

Erick Ablin, a Justice Department spokesman, confirmed the plan after an inquiry from USA TODAY. Details are expected soon.

Proponents of the plan, including Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl and Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, said taking DNA from federal detainees would solve many crimes committed by illegal immigrants and make it easier to identify and track potential terrorists.
