Father Toribio Romo later became one of the 25 Mexican Martyrs of the Cristero War honored by the Catholic Church. He was later beatified and then canonized.  Since his canonization in the year 2000 great interest has developed in the saint and thousands of people flock to the tiny town of Santa Ana de Guadalupe to visit his shrine and to see where he spent his youth.  As with many shrines in Mexico, supporting businesses have grown up alongside the attraction to serve the multitudes of pilgrims who come each year.  Where there were no restaurants in Santa Ana, there are now 3, along with an ice cream shop and many other stores to cater to tourists.  It was said by one of the locals that Santo Toribio managed to accomplish in death what he couldn’t in life:  the local population is more permanent now.  The people of Santa Ana are not forced to go to the United States looking for work, rather, they now live off the steady income that the tourist trade provides.

He is like Father Pro. Father Pro always said that he would like to win the lottery. today the location where he was put to death is now the headquarters of the Mexican lottery,

How is the Cristeros War in any sense related to the problem of migrants trying to get to the U.S. illegally?

It isn't Meg. Liberals just see the entirety of life through the lens of social justice and feelings, and sadly they have to drag religion and the saints into it, whether they are relevant or not.

Many people fled Mexico during the Cristeros war and entered the United States without docuмentation.

The official saint statue of Toribio Romo went on tour to various Mexican-American parishes in California in 2013.  The statue includes a relic of the saint, a piece of Romo’s ankle bone, encased in glass affixed to the torso of the statue.  People flocked to Indio, Hawthorn, Reseda and other cities to catch a glimpse of the saint, to thank him or to ask for a miracle.  The traveling saint proved more popular than the Church could have imagined with thousands of pilgrims showing up at events.
