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.

About 30 local high school students gathered on the state Capitol lawn Sunday and rallied for a shot at an affordable education.

The students are pushing Congress for approval of the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors, or DREAM Act, which would let students who entered the country illegally as children to legalize their immigration status and qualify for in-state tuition and financial aid.

Lawmakers from California and Florida recently reintroduced the DREAM Act in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate.
