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 - Armed men confronted a group of illegal border crossers who were trekking through the desert this weekend hauling backpacks loaded with marijuana.

Santa Cruz County Sheriff Tony Estrada says the bandits yelled at the smugglers in Spanish and told them to drop their load and run.

The Arizona Daily Star quoted Estrada on its Web site Monday as saying that the men fired guns into the air as they yelled and continued firing as the smugglers fled.
