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 CITY - Powerful drug gangs control parts of Mexico despite a wide-ranging crackdown involving thousands of federal troops, a top security official said Thursday.

Roberto Campa, executive secretary of Mexico's National Public Security Council, said the military offensive was successful in regaining a few drug strongholds, but other areas remained under the thumb of traffickers.

"There are places where drug dealers have replaced the local government," he said. He declined to name specific cities or regions.
