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.

Cave Creek church closes day-labor center

Hit by changes in town laws aimed at ousting undocumented immigrants and the advent this week of Arizona's new employer-sanctions law, a Cave Creek church has closed its day-labor center.

Good Shepherd of the Hills Episcopal Church started its center more than seven years ago to give its mostly undocumented laborers a safe place to hook up with employers and get social services.

"A lot of the guys just got scared," said volunteer Dan Dooley, a spokesman for the church at 6502 E. Cave Creek Road. "It ran a lot of them underground."


Operations at the day-labor center ended Tuesday, forcing the more than 40 migrant workers who gathered there to seek work elsewhere, including in other states and back in Latin America, center volunteers said.
