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.

Arizonans support trespass charges against illegal immigrants, poll says

Phoenix - Arizonans want a state law to allow those who cross the border illegally to be charged with trespass.

The new statewide survey shows that 65 percent of the 600 registered voters questioned support having a law that would allow state and local police officers to arrest border crossers.

Now, a police officer who comes across someone not here legally can only detain them and wait for Border Patrol to arrive. More often than not, those who are caught are deported - a situation that supporters of a trespass law said simply gives them another chance to try to sneak across the border.
