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.

SAN LUIS RIO COLORADO, Son. - Eight municipal police officers and a police cadet in this border city tested positive for drug use in three recently administered tests, city officials said.

Arturo Santana, a police spokesman, said tests showed use of marijuana and methamphetamines among the nine, but he declined to identify them.

The future employment status of the officers will be determined by a city promotion and selection board. The board president, Carlos Corral Quintero, said the officers have been reassigned in the meantime.

"Let it be clear, it's not good for the public or for (public) officials when police officers who carry a pistol are under the influence of drugs," he said.

And to whom does this come as a surprise? -mm
