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.

TUCSON - Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has made it official - the government has conditionally accepted a high-tech virtual fence in southern Arizona aimed at detecting and intercepting illegal entries into the country.

Chertoff said Friday the Border Patrol will begin a 45-day trial use of a virtual fence made of nine tall towers strung across 28 miles near Sasabe southwest of Tucson.

The trial will test the efficiency of the towers, packed with an array of sensors, radar and cameras.
