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.

President George W. Bush returned to the Yuma border Monday to chart the progress being made since his 2006 visit, but his call to pass comprehensive immigration reform this year was aimed at Washington, D.C.

In a speech similar in tone to last year's address in Yuma, Bush touted his immigration plan, which focuses on a secure border, a temporary worker program, holding employers accountable for hiring illegal aliens and not providing amnesty but also not deporting the illegal immigrants who are already here. Bush also dedicated the new Yuma sector Border Patrol station.
