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.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the U.S. Port of Entry at San Luis, Ariz., seized almost $1.8 million in illicit drugs, including 297 pounds of marijuana and 78 pounds of cocaine, within nine days.

The string of seizures involved six significant attempts at smuggling illicit drugs into the U.S., beginning around noon April 13, when CBP officers found roughly 49 pounds of marijuana hidden inside the gas tank of a 1992 Ford Explorer.

They arrested the driver, a 20-year-old man from San Luis Rio Colorado, Son., in connection with the failed smuggling attempt, according to a U.S. Department of Homeland Security news release.
