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.

ACAPULCO, Mexico – Mexican federal police will patrol the hotel zone of Acapulco day and night to prevent an outbreak of drug gang violence from affecting tourism, a senior police official said Friday.

Acapulco, a former playground for Hollywood stars that has long been in decline, is one of the main battlefields in a war between Mexico's two main drug cartels.

Two thousand people were killed nationwide last year, including two policemen who were decapitated, their heads displayed outside a government building in Acapulco.
