Migrants from central and south America continue to stream north, through Mexico, in search of the American dream. The journey is perilous.

But as Monica Campbell reports, some Catholic priests are trying to protect the travelers by setting up shelters along the way.

    What about the fact that this “priest” is an accomplice to these criminals who cross the US border illegally, assume fraudulent credentials, and steal jobs from Catholics in America?

      Right – for the jobs that go begging because Americans do not want to work in the fields, work hard in warehouses, etc. Americans need a wakeup call about what is going on in their country! Illegal aliens are the least of the worries.
      Get upset with over paid Congressmen, Congressmen giving a free pass to the banks robbing the wealth of Americans, banks buying off the politicians. 
      Politicians doing everything in the world  to accommodate the conglomerates when it comes to producing overseas, where the labor is cheaper, and then not taxing the produced items when they are shipped to the USA.
      NAFTA, free trade agreements with China and every other country you can think of. Then those foreign countries tax our products 100%
      These are things are costing you more jobs and loss of wealth then any illegal alien can take from you.
