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.

Nearly 6,500 pounds of marijuana confiscated in 35 busts by customs officers this week in the El Paso area included a 2,796-pound seizure Thursday at the Zaragoza Bridge, officials said Friday.

In its largest bust of the week, Customs and Border Protection agents found the marijuana concealed in a false compartment of a tractor-trailer that appeared to be shipping a load of Styrofoam cups bound for the U.S. from Mexico. No arrests were made in the case, officials said.
