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.

MEXICO CITY (AP) -- The world's largest drug cash seizure just got bigger. In a Thursday news release, the Mexican federal Attorney General's office said a new count of the Mexican pesos seized in a luxury home in Mexico City found 17.3 million pesos - not the 157,500 originally reported - a difference worth about $1.5 million. There was no explanation for the discrepancy.

The new figure brought the total amount of cash seized in the home to more than $207 million.

On Monday, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration chief Karen Tandy said in a statement that it was the largest drug-cash seizure "the world has ever seen."
