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.

Mexican police arrest 70 undocumented Guatemalans

People's Daily Online

Mexico's Preventative Federal Police (PFP) have arrested 70 undocumented Guatemalans in northern Mexico, the National Migration Agency (INM) said Wednesday.

The detention took place Tuesday night on the Mexico-Ciudad Juarez highway, in Gomez Palacio, a city in the northern state of Durango. During a routine check at the El Vergel checkpoint, the police discovered the illegal migrants in a hidden compartment of a Dina trailer truck.

Police also arrested the driver, Alberto Rodriguez Lopez. All were taken to Ciudad Juarez, a city in the northern Mexican state of Chihuaha, where they will each pay 3,000 pesos (272 U.S. dollars).
