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.

Shooting filmed but hard to see

The Associated Press

BISBEE - Surveillance cameras recorded the shooting death of a Mexican immigrant by a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Arizona, authorities said.

The shooting of Francisco Javier Dominguez Rivera, 22, was captured by a digital video camera on a U.S. Border Patrol surveillance tower, said the Cochise County Sheriff's Office and Michael Nicley, chief of the Border Patrol's Tucson sector.

However, Nicley said the video is not very clear.

"You can't tell anything from the tape at all," he said. "You can barely even make out the bodies."

He said the Border Patrol is trying to have the tape digitally enhanced to show more detail.
