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.

Border Patrol agents followed footprints through the Southern New Mexico desert for more than two miles before arriving at eight bundles of marijuana that weighed about 300 pounds -- the second instance in the area this week in which agents used tracking skills to discover large caches of abandoned pot.

Agents on Wednesday discovered footprints coming from the U.S.-Mexico border near Animas, N.M, south of Lordsburg. Officials said that after an extensive search, agents were unable to find the people who abandoned the marijuana.
