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.

TIJUANA: An officer with Mexico's federal migrant protection unit, Grupo Beta, has died of gunshot wounds after an attack late Wednesday near the border, the Baja California Attorney General's Office reported yesterday.

Alejandro Rivera Meléndez, 34, and another officer were attacked shortly before midnight Wednesday in the upper part of Colonia Libertad, a Tijuana neighborhood that abuts the U.S. border at San Ysidro. Rivera was pronounced dead at a Tijuana hospital, according to the attorney general's statement.

Rivera was a member of Tijuana's municipal police department assigned to Grupo Beta, the statement said. The other officer was not identified, and his condition was not known.
