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.

Assaults against Border Patrol agents have more than doubled in the past two years. And thugs are using far more sophisticated weapons -- smuggled into Mexico from the United States.

Yet Mexico is more concerned that some U.S. agents recently ventured a few feet across the border to extinguish a brush fire. What's behind President Felipe Calderon's dour diplomacy?
