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.

Mexico Leftist Leader Sees Strength Fade

Leftist leader Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who has declared himself Mexico's 'legitimate president,' saw his strength wane as organizers of Wednesday's march to protest skyrocketing tortilla prices asked him to stay on the sidelines.

Lopez Obrador pledged to be President Felipe Calderon's nemesis after losing last year's presidential race by less than 1 percentage point. The fiery former Mexico City mayor was known for his ability to mobilize millions in support of his allegations that the July 2 election was rigged.

But since Calderon has taken office, Lopez Obrador's self-declared alternative government has almost faded from view.
