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.

URUAPAN, Mexico – Mexican avocado growers will be watching the Super Bowl next Sunday, but not because they're interested in the victor.

They'll be focused on how many bowls of guacamole American football fans will eat that day – and how much of it will come from Mexican avocados.

On Thursday, restrictions will be lifted on imports of the Mexican fruit to the avocado-producing states of California, Florida and Hawaii. For the first time in nearly 100 years, Mexican growers will be allowed to ship their crops anywhere in the United States.

The biggest prize is California, where more avocados are consumed than in any other state, and where growers have blocked Mexican imports since Woodrow Wilson was president.
