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.

Choir Boys bike group helps family of fallen BP agent

About 15 members of a statewide law enforcement motorcycle club rode to Yuma Monday morning to present a $2,500 check to the family of a U.S. Border Patrol agent killed in the line of duty.

"It's amazing to see how people can be so generous during such a hard time for us," said Erica Aguilar, widow of Senior Border Patrol Agent Luis Aguilar, who was killed last month when he was struck by a suspected smuggling vehicle. "Louie was part of an unspoken brotherhood that supports each other, and they continue to support us."

Known as the Choir Boys, the motorcycle group is made up of retired law enforcement officers who enjoy riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles and are dedicated to helping survivors of fallen law enforcement officers.

Rich Epps, Region 3 Choir Boys president who rode to Yuma on his motorcycle from Lake Havasu City, said club members were deeply affected when they read about Aguilar's death and contacted the Yuma Border Patrol.
