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.

Feds: Suspect in slaying should have been deported to Mexico

Apr. 18, 2007 07:22 AM

SCOTTSDALE - A man being held on first-degree murder charges in connection with a shooting here last week should have been deported to Mexico a year ago for a prior felony conviction, authorities said.

The U.S. Immigration Office in Phoenix has placed a hold on Jose Quintero-Figueroa and will move to deport him after his court proceedings and potential sentencing.

Quintero-Figueroa is in the country only because he was able to dupe authorities into believing he was a native of United States, said Virginia Kice, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman.
