    In the small town of Veracruz, Mexico, at a gas station and truck stop, two nuns began stopping big rigs Sunday to fill the trailers with waiting migrants from the caravan. The caravan is trying to make 116 miles, a record for them, considering the first day walking in Mexico they traveled just 20 miles. The Catholic nuns at the scene are from Guadalajara’s Misioneras de Christo Resuscitado, and as a big red 18-wheeler approached, they flagged down the driver, stepped on the running board on the passenger side and spoke for about 5 minutes. The driver then gave a...

    A heartbreaking video captured in a Chicago commuter train shows the moment a homeless immigrant family sleeps on the floor and seats. Alexis Aguilar captured the footage at the CTA Blue Line Addison in the North Side of Chicago back in September. In the clip, a young girl can be seen lying face down while sleeping on the floor, her feet covered in sut. Aguliar told the Chicago Tribune: 'When I saw a barefoot girl lie down on the floor of the passway (of the train), barefoot and cold, trying to sleep, my heart broke and I knew something was...

    You've heard the "stuff" dished out about foreign influence on our elections....Russia, Russia, Russia. But Vice-President Mike Pence had a much broader list than that when he spoke recently citing Russia, China and Iran, along with "other nations". And he's dead on right. There's been a lot of griping from people who do business and make bucks dealing with China over the tariffs President Trump imposed to force fairer trade. I heard this kind of *itching from a trade association of adult beverage manufacturers in Kentucky when I listened to the radio down there during my summer vacation. But there...

    Honduran migrants traveling in a caravan to seek asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border are suing President Donald Trump, Attorney General Jeff Sessions and other key figures, arguing the administration's stance is "shockingly unconstitutional." The class-action civil suit, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., claims Trump "continues to abuse the law, including constitutional rights, to deter Central Americans from exercising their lawful right to seek asylum in the United States." The suit asks the federal court to declare a number of Trump's recent policy proposals to be in violation of the supreme law of the land "to end...

    Dominic Chacon, a Field Manager for the O’Rourke campaign in El Paso, Texas, expressed his concern in getting supplies to the caravan migrants. “I’m going to go get some food right now, like just some stuff to drop off, cause they need food and blankets,” said Chacon. “Do you know of anybody that has blankets and s**t?” We got permission to give them some of these waters, so we can take some of the waters too.” Anapaula Themann, a field organizer for the O’Rourke campaign, insists that the purchase of supplies for the illegal aliens remain a secret in a...

    Canada’s border agency said Wednesday that it planned to increase its deportations of undocumented migrants by 10,000 a year. These are to include not just failed refugees and asylum-seekers but those authorities regard as national security threats. “While Canada is a humanitarian country that has welcomed many immigrants and asylum-seekers over the years, those coming to our country are expected to abide by our laws and processes,” a border agency spokesperson told the state-run Canadian Broadcasting Corp. There is a backlog of about 18,000 migrants listed for deportation, with 5,300 so-called actionable cases, meaning there are no legal appeals or...

    While the first caravan of illegal immigrants is quickly moving toward the United States, a second caravan just broke through the Mexican border after a violent encounter with the Mexican Police. Hundreds of migrants are following in the footsteps of the first caravan, a giant group of thousands of illegal immigrants from Central America, as they travel through Guatemala and into Mexico. On Monday, the second group of illegal immigrants clashed with Mexican authorities after they crossed through the Suchiate River from Guatemala into Mexico. #BREAKING Hundreds of Honduran migrants cross river into Mexico pic.twitter.com/Dt7v0WLm6x — AFP news agency (@AFP)...

    For Trump to speak of eliminating the practice where illegal immigrants can arrange to have babies in this country, and they automatically become American citizens, is very much part of his eleventh-hour push on immigration. At a time when he has been pounding away at the Central American caravan — at least until that narrative was interrupted by terror attacks — birthright citizenship is shrewdly targeted to his base. "It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment. Guess what? You don't," Trump told Axios. When pressed, he said that "you can definitely do it with an...

    JUCHITAN, Mexico — Thousands of Central American migrants in a caravan traveling through Mexico planned to rest at least a day or longer in the southern city of Juchitan beginning Wednesday, hoping to organize mass transport northward after days of hard walking in tropical temperatures that have left them about 900 miles from the nearest U.S. border crossing. A second group, of 1,000 or so migrants who forced their way into Mexico on Monday, was trailing some 250 miles back, stopping for the night in the city of Tapachula. At a Tuesday evening assembly, participants in the bigger group named...

    International officials with the United Nations (UN) Refugee Agency say President Trump must allow a caravan of Central Americans into the United States to seek asylum. As Breitbart News has chronicled, migrants with an at least 7,000-strong have repeatedly admitted they are traveling to the U.S. to seek jobs, re-enter as previously deported illegal aliens, and flee crime. One previously deported illegal alien even admitted he was convicted of attempted murder in the U.S. None of these cases are eligible asylum claims. The UN Refugee Agency, though, is commanding Trump to accept the caravan of refugees, which some estimates put...

    The leaders of the first migrant caravan slowly making its way through southern Mexico are demanding the country's government provide vehicles to help its 4,000 participants reach Mexico City. Exhausted from the long journey on foot and frustrated by the caravan's slow pace, some migrants have been dropping out and returning home or applying for protected status in Mexico. Aware of the low morale, the group's representatives demanded 'safe and dignified' transportation to the capital Monday after the group arrived in the Oaxaca state town of Niltepec. The Mexican government has shown no inclination to comply with the caravan's demands,...

    States, with members dropping out to return home, some opting to try their luck in Mexico and others demanding "safe and dignified transport," as the endless walking begins to take its toll. The first of the three caravans attempting the journey is still at least 1,000 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. A Fox News crew traveling with the leading caravan Tuesday observed migrants lining a bridge outside of the town of Niltepec, hoping to get rides in a series of buses that were lined up. That caravan is estimated to contain 4,000 people -- but the number is slowly shrinking...

There’s something in the air that is causing anxiety and a general feeling of unease in the world at large. There are people who appear to be losing their minds on command and creating all manner of chaos and heinous crimes. Although mental illness has always been a part of some within the family of humanity it seems—recently—to have taken an ugly turn towards an even more aggressive madness in all too...

    A new group of migrants bound for the United States set off from El Salvador and crossed into Guatemala on Sunday, following thousands of other Central Americans fleeing poverty and violence who have taken similar journeys in recent weeks. The group of more than 300 Salvadorans left the capital San Salvador on Sunday. A larger group of mostly Hondurans, estimated to number between 3,500 and 7,000, who left their country in mid-October and are now in southern Mexico, has become a key issue in U.S. congressional elections.
