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.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- A Pima County grand jury has indicted two Mexican citizens on murder charges in the shooting deaths of two suspected illegal immigrants among a group attacked in a pickup truck, authorities said.

The indictment charges Rosario Humberto Araujo-Monarrez, 21, and Martin Esrain Flores-Gaxiola, 18, each with two counts of first-degree murder and 21 counts of endangerment, Deputy County Attorney Rick Unklesbay said. The men are from the Mexican state of Sinaloa.

The men were charged in the indictment handed up last week with the March 30 attack on a pickup hauling 23 suspected illegal immigrants near Green Valley - the latest of at least four fatal assault incidents this year on illegal immigrants. Each defendant is being held under a $1 million bond in the Pima County Jail, Unklesbay said.
