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.

TIJUANA – Authorities yesterday found the bodies of five men who apparently were strangled and left near a dirt road in Tijuana.

Authorities said the slayings might have been the result of a feud between small-time drug traffickers.

Organized-crime groups involved in transporting drugs and people into the United States are known to use such killings to settle scores over turf battles and stolen goods.

Mexico also is confronting a growing local drug trade in which small-time traffickers, who use similar crime tactics, have carved out niches in various neighborhoods.
