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.

Baja California police have recovered the burned remains of a Hummer and a Ford pickup suspected of being used in a smuggling attempt that led to the death of a Yuma Border Patrol agent last weekend.

Residents on the west side of Mexicali, Baja Calif., found a Hummer in flames in their neighborhood about 3:30 p.m. Saturday, police said, and a partially burned Ford pickup was located Sunday in Ejido Nayarit, a farming area south of Los Algodones.

Yuma Sector Border Patrol Senior Agent Luis Aguilar was struck by a Hummer and killed Saturday morning. He had been laying down spike strips in an effort to stop the vehicle in the Buttercup Recreation Area, a popular campground for Imperial Sand Dunes enthusiasts on the south side of the interstate.

The FBI is handling the investigation on the American side of the border, but no new developments have been reported.
