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.

For the second time in less than a year, a presidential visit to the Yuma area has brought a frenzy of national and international media attention to the city.

According to Senior Patrol Agent Maranda Weber of the Yuma sector Border Patrol, about 40 to 45 regional media outlets covered the president's visit to the Yuma headquarters.

"We had the local media, as well as media from San Diego, Phoenix, Tucson, Los Angeles and Las Vegas," Weber said. "Pretty much every big-name network was here also."

When including the national and international media that attended, that number could possibly have reached as high 60 media outlets, Weber said.

In addition to FOX News, CNN, ABC and the White House press corps, Weber said, there were Spanish language media from Mexico.
