Blogs, editorials, news accounts, and editorials pretending to be news accounts are nowhere near the truth about the real situation on the border.
Today doctors and other health care practitioners in Acuna are preparing for tomorrow's Second Annual Health Fair. Kick off was held this morning with a proclamation at the Mexican Consulate. Oh, I forgot to mention the location: the Second Annual Health Fair will be held Friday, Oct. 8, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Plaza del Sol Mall in Del Rio, Texas.
Doctors, nurses and other volunteers from Acuna, Mexico will come to the United States to help the people of Del Rio, Texas provide health care services.
In a way it makes sense that this news will go largely unreported in the United States. Border cities typically provide help to each-other. Also, it is a very small act. It is not something important like an American being robbed in Mexico. THAT would be a national news story.
Let's hope that the good doctors, nurses and aids are not arrested and detained until their papers can be checked.
I will not be able to attend the health fair. I am waiting at my mailbox for a big tax refund now that the total number of 'illegals' has decreased by a half million per year since 2008. Certainly we will all see reduced medical costs, lower taxes, and lower crime. We will see those things about the same time we see good stories about our good neighbors to the south.
