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.

JUAREZ -- One hundred fifty federal agents arrived Saturday in Juárez to help control a rash of violence in which several police officials have been gunned down, authorities said.

The federal agents will help local police expand street patrols, officials said.

"This is the response we expected for days from the federal government," said Guillermo Prieto Quintana, public safety secretary.

Since Jan. 1, Juárez has had more than 50 homicides. The victims have included police officers and commanders.
