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.

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, introduced a bill to extend the amount of time a Mexican citizen can stay in the United States on a border-crossing laser visa to make it equal to the time allowed for Canadians on a similar visa, Cornyn said.

The bill, the Secure Border Crossing Card Entry Act of 2007, would allow laser visa holders to stay up to six months, instead of up to one month. Cornyn said the bill would boost commerce and tourism in South Texas.
