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.

There were 304 homicides in Juárez in 2007, up from 243 in 2006, the attorney general of the state of Chihuahua said Wednesday.

Last year, homicides were down compared with 2005. The attorney general said that in 2007, police closed five of the 304 homicide cases and had suspects in 78 cases.

The last homicide of the year was apparently that of a man who was shot in the head on the front porch of his house on Oaxaca and Valerio Trujano streets.
