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.

Elected leaders in Minnesota are thinking about giving non-citizens the right to vote.

According to a report in the Pioneer Press, Rep. Phyllis Kahn, D-Minneapolis, introduced a plan for a constitutional amendment to let residents who are not yet citizens of the United States vote.

The Minnesota Monitor said Democrats Jim Davnie and Frank Hornstein, from Minneapolis, and St. Paul's Carlos Mariani joined as sponsors.

"I signed onto it because I believe it is important that people most affected by local decisions (such [as] levels of fire protection) have some way to hold decision makers accountable," said Mariani.

He said these people probably will be citizens in the future and this is "a good way to prepare them for that eventuality."
