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.

SCOTTSDALE - A man suspected of first-degree murder in what police describe as a plot to get a $500,000 life insurance policy is facing deportation to Mexico, a U.S. immigration official said Wednesday.

The U.S. Immigration Office will place Jose Quintero-Figueroa, 30, in removal proceedings following his arrest in connection with Friday's shooting death of 26-year-old Travis Hartline-Seffern.

Quintero-Figueroa, who had been a legal permanent resident of the U.S., should have been deported after he was convicted of aggravated assault.

He continued to live in the U.S. after his release from prison in 2006 only because he convinced officials he was born here, said Virginia Kice, U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman.
