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.

Thursday, November 29, 2007

Marfa, Texas – Agents of the U.S. Border Patrol’s Sierra Blanca Station nabbed 2,451 pounds of marijuana in the trailer of an 18-wheeler on the night of November 28. Sierra Blanca is part of the Marfa Sector.

About 10 p.m., the truck and trailer, driven by a 44-year-old legal permanent resident from El Paso, Texas, entered the checkpoint on Interstate 10. While agents were conducting an immigration check, a canine alerted to the presence of persons or narcotics in the trailer.

The marijuana was in cardboard boxes mixed in with skid packed boxes. The street value of the marijuana is $1,961,200. The driver, the drugs and the vehicle were turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration.
