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) -- President Felipe Calderon pledged "a hard and difficult battle" against gangs Wednesday, a day after gunmen wounded the top security official in the Gulf coast state of Tabasco and killed his driver.

Calderon, who has made fighting Mexico's powerful gangs and drug cartels a focus of his presidency, announced a high-tech, anti-crime network and inspected ranks of new patrol cars, drug-sniffing dogs and police equipment.

"We know that the fight against crime is a hard and difficult battle, that is already having significant costs, will take time, and unfortunately will continue taking human lives," Calderon said. "The public is fed up with the lack of public safety, and my government is determined, absolutely determined, to battle and defeat it."
