If I saw a Mexican drowning as he was swimming across the Rio Grande to enter the U.S. illegally or one stranded in the desert after crossing into the U.S. illegally, I would try to save them as perhaps the so called "Coyote [unusual name assignment since it is the slang name given to one who illegally smuggles people across borders of countries]  Saint" would do.

After I did that, on the other hand, I'd try to notify "La Migra" (the border patrol) so they could take them into custody.  I have no idea if the "Coyote Saint" would do that as well, although I kind of doubt it.  In any event, the border patrol if they share the same patron saint (St. Michael the Archangel) as police officers could certainlly thank St. Michael for helping to apprehend those who are supposedly helped from being apprehended by the "Coyote Saint."

Both St Michael and Father Romo answer to the Queen of Heaven. The Holy Virgin is a mother to all her children.

I can remember Francis detesting the thought of the U.S. building a wall when it was pointed out that the Vatican has an immense wall surrounding it that has been standing way longer than the U.S. has existed.  I haven't head about any plans to tear down the Vatican's wall.

It would be imprudent--if not downright foolish--to "tear down that wall",  given masses of alleged "refugees" entering southern Europe--including Italy--who are disproportionately young men, amazingly fit & trim and freshly clothed & shod, who look more like active-duty military on annual leave.  Yet sympathetic readers in the U.S.A. are self-righteouly led to expect to see women & children, obviously nearly starvation, and clothed in disintegrating rags.

It could be great fun to watch the twitter feathers fly if "Pope Francis" publicly makes an issue of the labor and other resources used to build the U.S. southern-border wall.  Because history records that the Leonine Wall--that wall around the Vatican--was built by Saracens who were captured during their raids, then put to work as slave labor, according to the customs of the times--even those of the Church.

I wonder if any of those captured Saracen invaders were ever "reünited with their children", or assigned a date for court, then released into the population they'd invaded, hmmm?

Some Mexicans said even more migrants will seek the protection of St. Toribio, as Americans step up efforts to curb illegal border crossings.

Yet, few people here expect the border measures – from more troops to higher walls to costly night-vision cameras – to much discourage illegal migration, despite its risks. Last year, almost 500 people, most of them Mexicans, died trying to reach U.S. soil.

And so, many people from across Mexico are flocking to this region, known as Los Altos de Jalisco, in search of a guide with a reputation for divine powers. Many maintain that only a miracle can help them overcome the growing array of obstacles.

"The number of migrants coming here in search of miracles is growing and will only get bigger," said the Rev. Gabriel González Pérez, parish priest of the small chapel where the remains of St. Toribio are buried.
