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.

MEXICO CITY – Gunmen killed a police chief in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas Saturday, in the latest apparent sign that President Felipe Calderón's campaign against drug gangs has failed to contain violence.

A group of men shot state police chief Manuel Cordova as he traveled in a truck in the city of Tapachula near the border with Guatemala, state authorities said.

Calderón has sent thousands of troops to states on the U.S. border and other regions to clamp down on narcotics cartels that are behind a wave of drug-related brutality.

Despite the campaign, execution-style killings and other grizzly violence have become increasingly common and spread to once peaceful states.
