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.

Last Pruitt's immigration protest of year rowdy on both sides

Christmas carols blaring from one side and the National Anthem playing on another. American flags waving high from one end of a street and posters bashing Sheriff Joe Arpaio less than a hundred feet away.

It was part of the scene near 35th Street and Thomas Road in Phoenix this morning as protesters on both sides of the immigration debate gathered for the last Saturday this year outside of M.D. Pruitt's Home Furnishings.

Every Saturday for almost two months, protesters have demonstrated outside of the furniture store after Pruitt's owner Roger Sensing hired off-duty police to keep day laborers off his property. Laborer advocate Salvador Reza began organizing the weekly protests to boycott the store and rally support for day laborers.
