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.

Anonymous Call Leads to Bust
Monday, December 17, 2007

Naco, Ariz. — Border Patrol Agents assigned to the Naco Border Patrol Station seized more than 900 pounds of marijuana in Palominas, Ariz.

Yesterday, Dec. 16th, the Naco Border Patrol Station received an anonymous call advising that a brown Chevy Suburban was being loaded with marijuana south of Smith Avenue. Agents responded to the location and observed a vehicle matching the description given, traveling north. Upon seeing the agents in the area, the driver immediately performed a u-turn, and drove back southbound in an attempt to get away. The agents followed the vehicle and about a mile later the Suburban stopped and two individuals jumped out, absconding into Mexico.

Inside the abandoned Suburban, Border Patrol agents discovered 45 bundles of marijuana. The total weight of the marijuana seized was 968 pounds with an estimated street value of over $871,000.
