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.

Mexican Town Gears Up For Returning Migrants

YUMA, Ariz. -- Officials in a Mexican border town are weighing their options for dealing with the large number of migrants that they expect to see returning to Mexico as Arizona's employer sanctions law takes hold.

The officials in San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico, across the border from San Luis, Ariz., are looking at the possibility of establishing a city-run assistance center for repatriated immigrants, said Mayor Ruben Espino.

They're also looking at an alternative idea of allocating city funds for the city's existing Casa del Migrante, an immigrant shelter also under city jurisdiction, Espino said.

The mayor said he would prefer to put more funding into the existing shelter since that would appear to be less costly than creating and staffing an assistance center.
