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.

Guard team again visited by possibly armed men

By Brady McCombs

ARIZONA DAILY STAR

A group of possibly armed men approached a National Guard observation team near Sasabe Friday night, marking the third close encounter of the year and second in that area.

Armed National Guard members working in an entrance-identification team west of the Rancho de la Osa near Sasabe radioed the Border Patrol about a group of several men approaching their post within 100 yards, said Rob Daniels, Border Patrol Tucson Sector spokesman.

Border Patrol officials sent a Black Hawk helicopter and agents in vehicles to the area, Daniels said. They arrived within five to seven minutes, he said.

No shots were fired and there was no altercation but the guardsmen were definitely approached, Daniels said.
