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.

Group seeks tougher Arizona laws against illegal migrants

Petitions target immigration

Saying that they will do what the government has failed to do, a group of citizens spearheaded by a lawmaker and a former gubernatorial candidate on Tuesday launched twin petition drives to create tougher immigration laws in Arizona.

One measure is aimed at punishing employers who knowingly hire illegal workers. The second would require police agencies to enforce federal immigration laws.

The dual measures are aimed at the November 2008 statewide ballot. But they are also targeted at legislators and Gov. Janet Napolitano, who initiative backers feel are roadblocks to tougher immigration laws.

Lawmakers are debating bills that would essentially accomplish what the two initiatives propose.
