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.

Police: Many illegal immigrants cross in rented cars

Apr 8, 5:39 PM EDT

BISBEE, Ariz. (AP) -- Human smugglers are beginning to rent cars to move illegal immigrants over the border, police said.

Bisbee Police spokesman Sgt. Taron Maddux said smugglers on the U.S. side of the border generally relied on their own vehicles.

But as more carloads were busted, smugglers had to deal with the inconvenience and cost of retrieving their vehicles from impound lots, Maddux said. Police are now finding that smugglers are renting cars in Tucson and Phoenix and letting the rental car companies deal with the hassle of recovering impounded vehicles.
