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.

PHOENIX - The Interior Department plans to boost border security by deploying more law enforcement officers along the Southwest border to deter drug smugglers who are endangering local residents and federal workers and also damaging fragile ecosystems.

The department controls large areas of land along the border with Mexico, either through the Bureau of Land Management, the National Park Service or the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne's office says he's asking for an $8 million boost in spending for fiscal year 2009, which starts on Oct. 1.
