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.

MEXICO CITY - Mexico's President Felipe Calderón on Sunday condemned the shooting of a Mexican migrant in Arizona, defended his decision to fight crime with the military, and insisted that Mexico has experienced "more peace and certainty" since he took office 45 days ago.

Calderón, who is trying to win over the millions who voted for former leftist opponent Andrés Manuel López Obrador in the July 2 election, also said his administration has taken steps to tackle poverty and generate jobs aimed at stemming the continual tide of Mexican migrants into the U.S.

"We have acted with decisiveness and energy to respond to the most urgent demands of the people: public safety, combating poverty and generating employment," Calderón said at a news conference at the presidential residence, Los Pinos.

"Today Mexico has more peace and certainty than at the beginning of my term and that fills me with satisfaction."
