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.

Candy Gabriela Barranco Gonzalez, a shivering, scared 5-year-old girl from Mexico, was found safe Friday morning after spending a terrifying night in dark, mountainous terrain, first with a smuggler and then alone.

After being turned over to Mexican officials to be placed temporarily with Mexican child protective services in Agua Prieta, Son., authorities said the girl, who crossed into Arizona with her stepfather among a group of illegal immigrants led by a smuggler, will be reunited with her mother.

The child and her mother are from Naucalpan, a suburb of Mexico City, but the mother was in Ciudad Juarez and was expected to be brought to the border region by Saturday, said Raul Saavedra, deputy consul with the Mexican consulate in Douglas.
