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.

Smuggling nearly 13 pounds of methamphetamine into Arizona may get a Mexican man life behind bars and a multi-million dollar fine.

Mexican national Jose Cardenas-Mendoza, 40, was found guilty earlier this week of intent to distribute methamphetamine and importation of meth, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Arizona.

Cardenas-Mendoza was stopped at the Dennis DeConcini Port of Entry in Nogales in September 2005, where a search uncovered the drug in a hidden compartment of his pickup truck, prosecutors said.
