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.

TIJUANA – After nearly a week tied up in a closet, a kidnapped American escaped from his captors yesterday by climbing through a window. Ian Adams was still in handcuffs when a municipal police officer found him begging for help on a street in central Tijuana.

Yesterday afternoon, the 42-year-old Rosarito Beach resident was at Tijuana police headquarters, preparing to tell his story to a U.S. Consulate representative and state kidnapping investigators.

“Thank you, muchas gracias,” the granite-and-marble contractor said with tears in his eyes, addressing a dozen unarmed officers, including Police Chief Victor Manuel Zatarain.
