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 DAILY STAR

A man and a woman were sentenced to prison on child-smuggling charges this week in unrelated cases, an official said Friday.

On Friday, 37-year-old Jose Luis Quintana-Lucero was sentenced to 15 months in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Arizona.

Quintana-Lucero was arrested Aug. 7 after he attempted to go through the port of entry in Douglas with a 16-year-old girl he claimed was his neighbor, the release stated.
