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.

At one end of the classroom, Jessica Alexander, Mabel Muñoz and five other high-school students discuss immigration's impact on education in Arizona.

Muñoz, a senior at Carl Hayden High School in Phoenix, says she's concerned that classmates who are in the U.S. illegally now have to pay out-of-state tuition to attend a state university and aren't eligible for many scholarships.

"Many people have been living here all their lives and have to pay more money just because they're immigrants," Muñoz says.

It's not "just because they're immigrants". It's because they are in this country illegally, violating our sovereignty! -mm
