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.

81 Chinese Immigrants Detained in Mexico

CANCUN, Mexico (AP) -- Federal police detained 81 Chinese immigrants and 22 immigration agents on Friday after the Chinese were discovered hiding in the Cancun airport terminal, possibly with the protection of Mexican immigration officers.

The 53 Chinese men and 28 women arrived on a flight from Europe late Thursday. Because of a lack of interpreters, police were unable to glean more details.

"We don't have all the information, what we can confirm is that 81 Chinese citizens were detained this morning at the airport," said Guadalupe Cerino, a spokeswoman for the Attorney General's Office. "We still do not have details on how they entered Mexico."

Federal police doing routine patrols found the Chinese in the airport, apparently accompanied by agents of the National Immigration Institute, police said.
