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.

Raids leave immigrants in fear nationwide

RICHMOND - Fear has gripped immigrant families across the country as federal agents raid neighborhoods, work sites and jails in a nationwide crackdown on illegal immigration.

Tens of thousands of people have been rounded up over the past several months, and many more are afraid to leave home, answer a knock on the door or leave their children alone in fear they might be next.

From California to Connecticut, federal officials have launched a full-scale offensive to find and deport illegal immigrants. It's part of a two-pronged approach, said Virginia Kice, spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement: secure the nation's borders while stepping up enforcement within.

"We're attacking these issues on multiple fronts," she said. "It's definitely a priority now."
