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.

About 500 immigrants and supporters turned out for a march and rally in Downtown El Paso on Tuesday commemorating last year's massive immigration movement and vowed to continue clamoring for reform.

The marchers met at the University of Texas at El Paso, walked down Oregon Street and gathered at San Jacinto Plaza for speeches by elected officials and others.

Every step reminded Vado, N.M., resident Maria Delgado of last year's marches, which attracted thousands in El Paso and hundreds of thousands elsewhere, but which didn't yield new laws.
