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.

YUMA - A farm labor contractor is being sued for allegedly hiring foreign workers under a special visa program and bypassing its existing pool of U.S. farmworkers.

The suit filed in federal court Phoenix this week accuses the contractor and its client of abusing a special visa system designed to help farmers bring in foreign workers when American workers can't be found.

Lawyers for Yuma-based Community Legal Services wrote in their filing that contractor Servicios Agricolas Mex. Inc. bypassed the pool of workers it had used for years to save money during the 2006 Arizona citrus harvest.
