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.

LAREDO -- Homeland Security officials have again assured local officials that fencing would not go up along the Rio Grande without public input, including "town hall" meetings with border residents, U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar said Monday.

Mayors and other officials from cities up and down the Texas border were incensed last week to learn that Homeland Security had created and was secretly circulating a map of 153 miles of the fence -- seemingly against Secretary Michael Chertoff's promises they would be in on any plans for a physical fence.
