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.

More arrests of immigrants in U.S. interior

PEARL, Miss. - Detective Nick McLendon, on stakeout duty along a stretch of Interstate 20, noticed a red Chevy Suburban with tinted windows and no light over its rear Texas license plate.

The missing light gave him all the excuse he needed to pull over the SUV.

Packed into the Suburban, he discovered, were 14 illegal immigrants, two suspected smugglers, and a spiral notebook on the front seat, listing the passengers and their destinations in Spanish.

The arrests - some 800 miles from the Mexican border - represented a new and dramatic shift in U.S. immigration enforcement strategy.
