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.

ACAPULCO, Mexico – Federal investigators will begin searching for remains of victims of Mexico's past “dirty war,” which led to the disappearance of hundreds of dissidents in the 1960s and 1970s, a human rights group said Friday.

Investigators with the federal attorney general's office will use scanning equipment starting Saturday to look for evidence that people were buried at a former military base, said Alejandro Juarez, spokesman for the Mexican Commission for the Defense and Promotion of Human Rights.

“If they detect any irregularities, they will start digging and recovering any human remains,” Juarez told The Associated Press.
