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.

Arizona has affirmed its reputation as an ID-theft hotbed, posting more per capita complaints than any other state in 2006, the Federal Trade Commission reported Wednesday.

It was the fourth consecutive year that Arizona led the nation in per capita ID theft, which refers to a range of crimes including stolen credit-card and utility accounts, loan applications under fake names, job applications using counterfeit Social Security cards and so on.

"I think what's driving it is our illegal-immigrant population," said David Barton, who specializes in employment law at Quarles & Brady in Phoenix. "All the border states are in the same boat."
