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.

Conditions are bleak in slain men's village

CINCINNATI (AP) -- Family members of four Mexican laborers who were stabbed to death in their suburban Cincinnati apartment last month say they came to Ohio illegally to find jobs and to send money home to Mexico.

Life in the village of Villa de Ramos is meager. Villagers estimate that 70 percent of the able-bodied men slip across the border to work in the U.S.

Brothers Manuel Davila Duenas, 31, and Jose de Jesus Davila Duenas, 21; Lino Guardado Davila, 45; and Conrado Lopez Guardado, 21, worked as bricklayers and stonemasons in the Cincinnati area.

They were found stabbed to death Dec. 13 in their sparsely furnished apartment in Sharonville. They had been dead more than a week, and had no identification, officials said.
