Jimmy Barrett and Shara Fryer take you through the stories that matter on the morning of 01/23/2019, including: Around 1,000 Central American migrants marched freely through the Guatemala-Mexico border on Friday after the gates were left wide open (unlocked), with Mexican authorities standing down from confronting the caravan. A Mexican official told Fox News that they “did not want to confront” the migrant caravan, fearing the repetition of last year’s incident where violent clashes between police and the migrants broke out. They now begin the trek to the U.S. border, which can range from between 1,000 to 2,500 miles depending on the point of entry; PJ Media columnist Jim Treacher once summarized the news media in just 19 words: “Modern journalism is all about deciding which facts the public shouldn’t know because they might reflect badly on Democrats.” Mr. Treacher tweeted that over four years ago. A story which is useful to the preferred political cause wins approval and attention from the public and from the press as well. This “usefulness” factor has come into the full flower during the Trump administration. For the second year in a row, an intense Media Research Center study of broadcast news which aired throughout 2018 revealed that 90 percent was “incessantly hostile” toward President Trump; Maybe the US needs to INCREASE the number of LEGAL immigrants to supplement our workforce and make up for the nation’s declining birth rate. That’s what Canada is doing. Canada gained more than 286,000 permanent residents in 2017, according to an annual report to Parliament, and it wants to welcome more than 1 million as permanent residents by 2021. Immigration accounted for 80 percent of Canadian population growth between 2017 and 2018, according to the report, and about one in five Canadians are immigrants. Canada’s Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship says immigrants entering Canada's labor force will help offset the country's new challenges of "an aging population and declining birth rate."
