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.

Officers from U.S. Customs and Border Protection had their hands full Monday morning with a baby who couldn't wait to get into the country. According to CBP public affairs officer Vince Bond, at about 10:40 a.m. a woman gave birth to a baby girl while at the port of entry in Andrade, Calif.

"I was told when the child left the port, she was pink and very verbal," Bond said. "This isn't a common event, but it does happen."

Bond said just three minutes before the baby's birth, a vehicle with Arizona plates entered the port from Mexico and was immediately sent to the port's secondary inspection area due to a medical emergency.
