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. Border Patrol agents found marijuana in two separate incidents over the weekend.

A U.S. Customs and Border Patrol canine working at a checkpoint on Interstate 8 near milepost 62 alerted agents to drugs concealed inside a vehicle's spare tire.

At 1:15 a.m. Sunday, a white Ford Explorer approached the checkpoint and stopped. A dog trained to detect narcotics and other contraband alerted the agents to the vehicle.

After agents questioned the driver and received consent to search the vehicle, the dog located 10 bundles of marijuana weighing about 23 pounds concealed in the vehicle's spare tire, the release said.
