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.

New port of entry hoped to ease border lines

San Luis, Ariz. - A motorist may wait in line an hour or more to cross the border to this city and while waiting, need to make way for any commercial trucks coming through.

The lines should run more smoothly by September 2009 when a new commercial port of entry is scheduled to be operating, said Mario Jauregui. He is a board member of the Greater Yuma Port Authority, the lead agency in Arizona for building and planning the commercial border crossing.

The commercial port will draw away the tractor-trailers that now pass through the existing port. The move will allow Customs and Border Protection to expand the number of car lanes at the existing port and dedicate them all to private vehicles.
