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.

Woman gets 15 months for trying to smuggle kids

The Associated Press

Published: 02.08.2007

A Phoenix woman was sentenced Wednesday to 15 months in prison for trying to smuggle two Mexican children into the United States by pretending they were hers.

Brenda Aguirre, 25, was also sentenced to three years of supervised release by U.S. District Judge Raner C. Collins.

The statement said she tried to enter the United States through the border crossing at Douglas April 2 with the children, ages 3 and 5. She claimed the children were hers and that they were both U.S. citizens.

But officials determined the children were Mexican and that Aguirre was to receive $500 for bringing them across the border.
