Mormon pioneer Alma Dayer LeBaron had a vision when he moved his breakaway sect of polygamists to this valley 60 years ago: His many children would live in peace and prosperity among the pretty pecan orchards they would plant in the desert.
In the past three months, American Mormon communities in Mexico have been sucked into a dust devil of violence sweeping the borderlands.

And Senator Shoumer says that our sounther borders are now safe?
The LeBaron Clan in Mexico is not, and has not been affiliated with the “Mormons” in all the 60 years since Alma had his “vision”. Also, there are no “American Mormon communities, colonies, or clans” in Mexico. Their plight sounds very sad, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, but please don’t confuse their religious affiliations with “The Mormons”. It is blatantly erroneous.
Perhaps you could refer to them as what they actually are, simply “The LeBaron Clan in Mexico”. They have no connection to or affiliation with, The “Mormons”, American or otherwise.
