Like previous generations of migrants, some are seeking economic opportunity. But many are trying to cross because they are fleeing violence so severe that they feel they have no choice. Their very public group effort is an attempt to evade the rape, kidnapping and extortion by smugglers that commonly beset undocumented migrants who cross Mexico on solitary journeys.

- Europe on Iran: Gone with the WindCommentary
Europe’s reaction to the war in Iran has been disunited and meek, a far cry from its previously leading role in diplomacy with Tehran. To avoid being condemned to the sidelines while escalation continues, Brussels needs to stand up for international law.
