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.

AUSTIN -- The Texas House gave a vigorous nod Monday to Gov. Rick Perry's plan to spend $100 million to beef up security on the Texas-Mexico border.

Border sheriffs would get millions to increase patrols and deter crime coming up from Mexico under the bill tentatively approved with a 140-5 vote.

"That's what we've been asking for from the beginning," El Paso County Sheriff Leo Samaniego said.

The legislation spells out how the $100 million for border security would be distributed.
