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.

MANASSAS, Va. – Best known as the site of two major battles during the War Between the States, this city of 35,000 some 25 miles due west of Washington, is shaping up as the next front in the fight against illegal immigration.

About 100 citizens frustrated by the effects of illegal immigration – this time a Northern Virginia suburb of the nation's capital – last night joined the growing battle by municipalities against a problem with its roots in a lack of federal enforcement.

Citizens of Manassas, Manassas Park and Prince William County gathered together at the Manassas City Council chambers for the first ever meeting of "Help Save Manassas," a grassroots group dedicated to preserving the community, fostering public awareness of the detriments of illegal immigration, lobbying local government on issues involving immigration and to provide a voice for citizens affected by illegal immigrants, according to the group's charter.
