President of Costa Rica: US not to blame for past, present or future ills confronting Latin America

Nonsense. We know that all of the problems in Latin America can be traced back to the U.S. Why on earth would Obama be offering apologies? There is U.S. fault to be found, I just know it. /s

COLUMBUS, N.M. - U.S. Customs and Border Protection is asking for the public’s help in finding any relatives of a border patrol inspector who died in the line of duty in February 1942.

Officials plan to honor Ralph W. Ramsey by naming a new forward operating base west of Columbus after him.

Ramsey was 27 when he died while attempting to board a freight train in search of illegal immigrants. He was stationed in Columbus when the accident happened.

Officials say research revealed an article in a 1942 edition of the Deming Graphic regarding Ramsey. It mentioned his sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Mechem of Westbrook, and in-laws Mr. and Mrs. W.M. Gage of Big Spring, Texas.

Anyone with information about Ramsey’s surviving relatives is asked to contact the Border Patrol’s El Paso sector.
