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.

The head of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps disputes claims by U.S. officials that illegal immigration traffic is down significantly in Arizona, just as volunteers are beginning another monthlong campaign to monitor the border.

Beginning today, the anti-illegal immigration group will station hundreds of armed volunteers along the U.S.-Mexican border as part of an effort to deter illegal immigration during what is historically the busiest time of the year for unlawful crossings.

The Arizona part of the campaign will focus on the Sasabe area between Nogales and the Tohono O'odham Reservation, where illegal immigration traffic is as high as ever, according to Chris Simcox, the group's president.
