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.

Border Patrol agents in Lordsburg, N.M., arrested 10 men from Mexico carrying backpacks filled with marijuana in two incidents Thursday in the Southern New Mexico desert, officials said.

In one incident, agents spent several hours tracking footprints that led them to six men carrying a total of 237 pounds of marijuana near U.S. Highway 80 near the U.S.-Mexico border. A few miles away, agents found four other men trying to hide in the brush with a total of 250 pounds of marijuana.
