Immigration in the News

Here are some October articles and videos from various sources to keep you informed about the latest in immigration and border news. Many of the articles document the life-threatening violence which prompts many people to leave their homelands, the threats and risk of death on the journey, and the particular dangers faced by unaccompanied migrant children. An artist and author as well as the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops also share their responses to the migrant crisis.
