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.

CAMPO – Three Border Patrol agents in East County fired shots yesterday at a pickup with several suspected illegal immigrants inside when the truck sped toward some agents, authorities said.

The pickup's driver, a suspected immigrant smuggler, and the front-seat passenger were injured and taken to a hospital, sheriff's Lt. Dennis Brugos said.

One person was in serious condition and the other in stable condition last night, sheriff's officials said.

Four suspected illegal immigrants in the back seat were not believed to have been injured. They were being questioned last night, Brugos said.
