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.

U.S. kids won't need passports at land crossings

Homeland security reversal affects those age 15 and under

U.S. children will not need passports to come into the country by land or sea, the Homeland Security Department announced Thursday.

The decision was praised by tourism groups and Canadian government officials who fought the requirement.

Under anti-terrorism passport rules that could take effect as early as January, all adults including U.S. citizens, will have to show passports to cross the nation's borders.

But the government reversed a widely criticized decision to require children to have passports as well.

What this does allow is for the thousands of former "anchor babies" who now live back in Mexico to continue to freely attend school illegally in the USA cost US taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars each year! They should modify the requirement to include only those children who are US citizens and can prove residency in the USA. -mm
