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.

Border clearing ongoing, but county sheriff wants more done

Yuma County Sheriff Ralph Ogden said his hollering, stamping feet and letter-writing have led to some results in clearing a few hundred acres of brush along the southern border. He is hoping for thousands more.

The clearing of non-native vegetation, such as salt cedar and arrow weed, between the Colorado River and the levee aims to decrease illegal activity by improving surveillance. Ogden briefed the Yuma County Board of Supervisors about the issue Monday.

"You can have all the cameras in the world, but if all you're looking at is brush, you can't see anything until the guy is right in front of you," he said.
