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.

Papers contradict agent over killing

BISBEE - Documents released Monday fail to support the account a U.S. Border Patrol agent gave about his fatal shooting of a Mexican illegal immigrant in January.

Nicholas Corbett, an agent with the patrol's Naco station, fatally shot 22-year-old Francisco Javier Dominguez Rivera on Jan. 12 while trying to take Dominguez Rivera, his sister-in-law and his two brothers into custody near the Mexican border, according to authorities.

The shooting, initially described as an apparent confrontation in which the previously unidentified Border Patrol agent was allegedly threatened with a rock, drew strong condemnation from Mexican President Felipe Calderón and the victim's family and was investigated by the Cochise County Sheriff's Department.
