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.

Outside Valley, few complaints of illegal hiring

For all the attention and anxiety over Arizona's employer-sanctions law, it has remained almost a non-issue outside Maricopa County in its first two weeks, with few prosecutors reporting complaints of businesses using illegal immigrants.

Most county attorneys said they had received no complaints at all. The state's attorney general had received just one.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio could not say how many sanctions-related complaints his office has received since Jan. 1; he said Maricopa County has received about 500 employment-related complaints since starting an illegal-immigration hotline last summer. Even so, the law has scarcely created a stir in many parts of Arizona.

"I haven't seen a local story in the local paper. I haven't heard it on the radio. I haven't heard from anyone in the county, even businesses," LaPaz County Attorney Martin Brannan said.
