not only is the Panama Canal slowing international trade; A Mexican railway operator announced it is temporarily suspending 60 cargo train runs because so many migrants are climbing aboard freight cars, some international trade would be affected by the stoppage.


U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) sources told Fox News that between Friday and Monday, there were more than 35,000 migrant encounters along the southern border. On average, that equates to just under 9,000 migrant encounters per day.

Ferromex said services would be halted on the trains travelling towards Mexico's border with the US, in order to "avoid accidents or loss of life". It added that the number of migrants trying to hitch rides on its freight trains was "unprecedented". Hundreds of thousands clamber onto the roofs and cling to the sides each year.

The United Nations Children's Fund, Unicef, says that the number of children migrating through Latin America and the Caribbean has reached record numbers.

"Gang violence, instability, poverty and climate-related events are, alarmingly, gripping the region and pushing more children from their homes," Gary Conville, Unicef's Latin America and Caribbean director, said.

United States Customs and Border Protection said that more than 83,000 children had crossed the US's southern border in the first seven months of 2023.


Seems to me that few if any countries are being run well enough to prevent chaos. 

The north western European countries are never in the news, but Central America and Africa, the Middle East and China/North Korea are always threatening either war or economic chaos, Russia is still attempting a military takeover of Ukraine, Haiti can't figure out how to operate without a bail out, the USA is 33 trillion in debt with not a single elected official caring (they are only in office to get rich quick and retire with pension), inflation is ridiculous, Libya's neglect of the dam resulted in deadly flood, New York City's liberal left wingers campaigned to be a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants  - before they were delivered by a convoy of busloads, the homeless population has doubled in California, etc etc

What a mess. No wonder so many people simply want to retire and go fishing

  1. While millions of illegals enter your country freely, millions of travelers in airports must have valid papers to cross customs and even pay (ESTA) to be allowed to visit the country.
    While the White House puppet, placed by those who pull the strings, wonders what his name is, fentanyl-addicted homeless people are piling up by the hundreds of thousands on the streets, right up to Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
    Do you know what the Deep State is ? They're trying the same thing here in Europe.
    Chaos at every level is their goal. Why ? Do your research.
    The governor of Texas should send ALL the migrants to the cities run by these idiot Democrats.

    1. I only agree with your first and last sentences.
      As for this: "is their goal. Why ? Do your research."
      I can not understand if you have a point, a fact, that you know, or this is your most coherent way of stating that you simply are mystified about things you don't understand.
      If you're educated about that goal, have analyzed and discussed it, then you would be the person everyone must consult to research it, but you propose that I look elsewhere on a wild goose chase to get an answer to a question you haven't realized I didn't ask.
      Whatever you think a deep state is, how about you either relay the names, facts, history, and actions, or realize no one here is drunk enough to listen to vague existential ramblings of notions and conspiracy theory. Cite sources of the legit news, not wacko fringe websites from basement dwellers and hermits on pharmaceuticals and anti anxiety pills.
      You must have ignored that the above article I posted has facts, sources, and news events. No "do you own research man, the facts are out there, the end is near!" hippie nonsense. I require the same of anybody who tries to start a discussion about news and world events

    2. I knew I was going to get an answer like that to my post. I wasn't looking for controversy.
      If I were to post all the information I found on the Internet AND in the books I've read on the subject, there wouldn't be enough room on your blog. Besides, almost everything is in French and German. Do you read any of these strange languages?
      And sorry, this isn't just wacky information from depressed hermits who live in a dark basement and eat pills, far from it.
      I've been to many parts of your beautiful country and am simply saddened and angry to see it going under. Same here in France and the rest of Europe. Problems don't just happen, they're deliberate.
      When our Western countries are destroyed, it will be too late for people to open their eyes.
      Sorry for my conspiracy theorist messages.

    3. you already know the outcome of "there's a deep state, they have a goal, do your own research" so instead of a summation, you left the sheets blowing in the wind. How illuminating.
