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.

Chula Vista, Calif. — U.S. Customs and Border Protection Border Patrol agents seized four sport utility vehicles containing 4,042 pounds of marijuana worth more than $3 million and arrested one driver last week.

At 8:30 a.m. April 12, a Border Patrol agent working in an area near Tecate, Calif. observed a four-vehicle caravan covered in dust, driving on State Route 94. The agent linked the convoy to a gate that had been forced open near the International Boundary. The agent was able to stop the last vehicle of the convoy and discovered numerous marijuana bundles inside the vehicle. The Mexican citizen driver was turned over to Operation Alliance, a collaborative multi-agency anti-drug taskforce.
