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.

Monday, March 26, 2007

EL Paso, Texas -- U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers performing anti-terror inspections at El Paso area border ports of entry made 13 drug seizures Saturday, confiscating 1,209 pounds of marijuana in a dozen busts and 9.7 pounds of cocaine in an additional seizure.

Over the course of the last three days, area CBP officers seized a total of 2,097 pounds of marijuana and 9.7 pounds of cocaine in 24 total seizures.

“CBP officers were successful in balancing enforcement and traffic facilitation during an exceptionally busy Saturday,” said David Longoria, U.S. Customs and Border Protection El Paso Port Director. “CBP officers were able to keep border crossing times under 60 minutes for most of the day while processing dozens of drug cases, illegal immigration attempts, agriculture violations and other enforcement concerns.”
