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.

FROM STAFF REPORTS

December 12, 2007 - 10:06PM

Border Patrol agents from the Yuma Sector arrested two Mexican citizens allegedly smuggling 20 bundles of methamphetamine worth an estimated $701,000 late Tuesday evening.

About 7:15 p.m. agents from the Wellton Station assigned to the traffic checkpoint on Interstate 8 became suspicious of two vehicles trying to pass through the checkpoint.

A K-9 search resulted in the discovery of 20 softball-sized bundles of methamphetamine stashed behind the dashboard of one of the vehicles. The second vehicle was determined to be involved in the smuggling operation.

The drivers were both determined to be citizens of Mexico. The vehicles and the methamphetamine were turned over to U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration officials.
