Pope's Advice on Immigration: Not Compassionate Or Practical For America Or Europe

Think about the logical implications of the Pope's criticism of a proposed wall on our border with Mexico.

By calling such a barrier "un-Christian," the Pope is saying that it's the duty of Christians to suffer the disease, drugs, poverty and crime illegal immigrants bring in their wake. He's saying Americans have no right to protect our national identity from intruders unwilling to assimilate. He's saying that forcing the working poor to compete for jobs with cheap immigrant labor is the Christian thing to do. And he's saying U.S. taxpayers have a moral obligation to foot the bill for this orgy of misplaced compassion.

On the Mexican side of the border near Ciudad Juarez on February 17, Pope Francis presided over an outdoor mass that drew thousands, and laid flowers at a memorial for those who died trying to enter this country illegally. (Presumably, America is responsible for their deaths, by not facilitating illegal entry.) "No more deaths! No more exploitation," His Holiness declared.

No more deaths? Americans are being killed, raped and tortured every day by the refuse that flows through our porous borders. In December 2015, illegal alien Michael Rodriguez Garcia was sentenced to four consecutive life terms for the rape and sodomy of two children in Minette, Alabama. In October, an illegal from Guatemala was sentenced to 40 years for killing a couple and their 5-year-old daughter in a vehicular homicide in Ohio. In San Francisco last July, Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez (an illegal and repeat felon who'd been deported five times) was arrested for the murder of 31-year-old Kate Steinle. The Talmud says kindness to the cruel is cruelty to the kind.

In July 2015, an estimated 55,000 criminal aliens accounted for one-quarter of the total Federal prison population. Another 297,000 were incarcerated in state and local prisons. Behind these cold statistics lies a sea of human suffering.

Nowhere is America more vulnerable to terrorist infiltration than at our southern border. In 2014, FOX News reported: "It has long been known that a percentage, albeit small, of illegals caught sneaking across from Mexico hail from terror-sponsoring states." The same year, Midland County, Texas Sheriff Gary Painter disclosed, "I received an intelligence report that there were ISIS cells active in the Juarez area."

In February 2015, ISIS boasted that it had inserted 4,000 of its fighters among the refugee horde invading Europe. America is next.

Not all illegal aliens come here to rape and murder. Many take the jobs of low-income workers — especially racial minorities for whom the left professes such tender regard.

In 2013, the Pew Hispanic Center estimated there are more than 8 million illegal aliens in our workforce. Not coincidentally, in January of this year, there were 7.8 million unemployed, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Of course, there isn't a one-for-one correlation. Still, it's safe to say that if 8 million aliens weren't working here illegally, our chronic unemployment problem would disappear overnight.

Pope Francis is consistent. In addressing ambassadors to the Holy See shortly after the New Year's Eve festivities in Cologne, the Pontiff urged Europeans not to let the sexual assaults undermine the foundation of the continent's "humanistic spirit." He implored European leaders not to lose sight of the "values and principles of humanity (apparently, self-preservation is not among them)… however they may prove, in some moments of history, a burden difficult to bear."

But neither the Pope nor European leaders will bear this burden. Thanks to four decades of mass immigration from countries where women are treated as property and infidel women little better than whores, Sweden now has the second highest number of rapes per capita in the world.

The million "migrants" Chancellor Angela Merkel admitted to Germany in 2015 (for which Time Magazine made her its Person of the Year), will lead inevitably to more Colognes, where over 1,000 of those supposedly fleeing oppression launched fireworks into crowds to celebrate the New Year, and — in keeping with Europe's humanistic spirit — molested any German woman who came within groping distance.

The burden will also be borne by future generations who will live in societies with growing Muslim populations, with their traditional contempt for women, Jews and infidels in general. In America, compassion will lead to a country that looks less and less Norman Rockwell and more and more Ciudad Juarez.

While Muslims are invading Europe intent on de-Christianizing the continent, in the Middle East, Christians face extinction. The Pope, who has been vocal in his condemnation of border security, has met this genocide with such tepid expressions of concern as "We won't resign ourselves to a Middle East without Christians," without suggesting who's behind the war on Christianity in the land of its birth. Who does he think is cutting off the heads of his brothers in the Muslim world — Donald Trump?

The concept of Christian charity comes from the Jewish Bible. In Leviticus (23:22), the Israelites are told not to harvest the corners of their fields to provide sustenance for the needy and the stranger. (The strangers referred to here were Israelites from other tribes, not Amalekites and Philistines in search of easy prey.) The Bible says we have a responsibility to the poor. It doesn't say we have to impoverish ourselves or risk national annihilation to fulfill that responsibility.

Like the U.S. Constitution it inspired, the Bible isn't a suicide pact.

My take on this is that the Pope should follow his own advice and let the muzzies into Vatican city. If he can make that work then we can consider allowing one or two of them over here.

What does this head of the cult of Mary know about Christianity.

I can’t go to the grocery store without standing behind illegals speaking that stupid language they speak and paying for their grocerys with food stamps.

If a horde of illegal alien Hispanics can lower wages and increase unemployment among blacks, that will serve the liberal cause of keeping blacks addicted to redistribution and big government.

El Popo, TEAR DOWN THIS/YOUR WALL!

The Vatican wall was first built in 852 A.D. to fend off Muslim attackers. It is guarded today with the elite Swiss Guards with all types of guns shown below:

It’s been a while, but under JP2, the pre-Pope Benedict authored a paper on immigration, which basically said “the Bible isn’t a suicide pact” in regards to the dangers and disruptions to civilized society accepting any and all “refugees”.

Since the Pope himself is sitting on a Trillion dollars or more maybe he should help out all these people he claims to feel such compassion for.

He’s just another looter spending OPM.

“Not all illegal aliens come here to rape and murder”

Well that’s a big compliment.

This is so over-the-top. Chatty Frank didn't say building a wall was un-Christian, he said those who *ONLY* think of building walls, rather than bridges, are un-Christian.

That wouldn't include Trump. We all realize he built bridges to his two immigrant wives!

(And I will not even mention his many, many bridges --- symbolically speaking --- to accommodate his enterprises' many immigrant employees...)

“That wouldn’t include Trump. We all realize he built bridges to his two immigrant wives!”

If there’s one thing that pisses off American women, its an immigrant wife. Kind, lovely, feminine, non hair-chopping and without angry faces.
The American chubster cartel despises them. Its widely know that the best husbands on earth are American, and the worst wives are.

American women are like 5% of the worlds females. Why should a man restrict himself?

Do these nations have stone? Yes.

Is a seven-bedroom stone house valuable?

Why, yes!

Mahogany trees can grow in Mexico. Mahogany is expensive. Mahogany furniture is very expensive.

Poor nations are only poor because of a lack of leadership.

They should hire quality CEOs.

Haitians could all be living in ocean view mansions.

About twenty percent of Mexicans could be living in ocean view mansions in Mexico.

A Mexican bricklayer can physically lay more bricks in Mexico than in New York State.

Maybe around 30% bricks.

Why, the weather is better in Mexico.

A Mexican could be living in a much bigger house in Mexico than in the USA.

Immigration into the USA is not a good solution for Mexican or Third World poverty.

My pope is a real piece of work /sarc
But when stuff like this shows up it should come Vatican sources because this may be another hit like the one that had the pope in effect endorsing The Donald.

Some fundamentalists have a thing against Catholics particularly this open the borders Pope. That story the MSM conjured up about the pope singling out Trump being a non christian may have turned this for Trump in South Carolina .

But the pope was responding to a loaded question full of accusations that actually the pope did not believe from a Reuters news agency reporter. And the pope never mentioned Trumps name in his lengthy reply ,which btw was uncovered by Rush Limbaugh Friday a day before the election show; It was this; expressed here in abstract;

In fact his reply the pope used the term One, to generalize his example and began with; If actually one said and Pope Francis continued with : one does, one did, one believes : such and such in his response to a rather lenghty loaded question by a so called reporter..

So it was meant to be a generalized position applied to anyone who has those views in the questions that were presented to him .Turning this Those that only focus on building walls and not bridges are not Christian’ into “Those who build walls like Trump are not Christian”.

Trump responded to what he thought was a direct personal attack by the Pope which was shared and agreed to by everybody including this Catholic and what they were responding is to Trump in effect telling the pope to go to hell which made the difference.

If they voted that way because of that reason they were mislead by machinations of the media not the pope. Now the medias anti religious agenda is busy claiming Cruz wont win by emphasizing Christian values in: marriage, planned parenthood, abortion and the questioning of wandering positions on these subjects taken by Trump. Which diverts the attention from the media and its involvement while minimizing the Cruz candidacy.

I personally love immigrant women. Immigrant women comprise a good 25% of my parish. And if they want to marry native-born Americans? Have at ‘em, chiquitas.
