Pope Francis makes clear why Trump is the frontrunner
American Thinker ^ | 09/25/2015 | M. Catharine Evans

Pope Francis's address to Congress may have voters on both sides of the aisle seriously considering supporting Donald Trump’s immigration plan.  The pope stated that we must "not be taken aback by the numbers" of illegals he calls "refugees" invading our country.  Rather, we must apply the Golden Rule to the 11-30 million people openly defying our nation's rule of law.

Unfortunately, Francis's "do unto others" dictum does not apply to cash-strapped lower- and middle-income Americans.  He says we must see the “refugees” as “persons … seeing their faces and listening to their stories,” but he exhibits no such concern for families struggling to make ends meet while shelling out a third of their paychecks to essentially promote a leftist, anti-capitalist open-borders agenda.

Last July, after an 8-day trip to South America, the pope was asked by a reporter aboard the papal plane why he does not speak about the "working, taxpaying middle class."  The pontiff blew off the question, saying, "That is a good correction ... that is an error of mine ... I need to do delve further into this."

Needless to say, the pope did not correct the “error” in his speech to Congress.  The Catholic leader made no mention of the trillions taxpaying citizens are forking over to care for law-breakers.

So far, Donald Trump is the only candidate addressing the enormous sums of money working- and middle-class Americans are paying in taxes to make sure illegal immigrants get free medical care, schooling, housing, and food.

It’s not at all surprising that Trump continues to lead in the polls.  In August, he told an interviewer that the “middle class is getting clobbered in this country.”  Same for our veterans.

America’s immigration policy for legal immigration is the fairest most honest and “Christian” immigration policy on earth. Anyone who advocates that we accommodate illegal immigration is therefore succumbing to the sins of greed and envy in advocating for illegal aliens.

The Catholic leadership has been hijacked. The pope is preaching communism and the destruction of America. Catholics should be outraged and should cut off financial support until legitimate leadership is restored.

“the poor will always be with you”. I see the taking of benefits by these people as a form of theft condemned as a sin in the Ten Commandments. Also “Thou shalt not kill” clearly applies to the “planned” parenthood defunding as well. The P{ope should address these tenants of Christian faith and stay off the economy and immigration stuff.

Frankie-boy needs to go tell it to the Mexicans. They’re the ones with the strict rules about who come in, and they strictly enforce them. I haven’t heard him tell Mexico to show “humaniy” and allow their country to be overrun by invaders, just-as usual-majority-white western nations. Obviosuly the invaders want to come where the stuff is, the better to get the freebies, but that doesn’t make it incumbent upon is to just give our country away and then layndown and wait to be raped and murdered.

Who are these idiots going to whine Nd complain to, and invade, once they’re done destroying majority-white, western, formerly successful nations? Cause I don’t think countries like China, Russia, or Saudi Arabia will go for it, and if they had what it takes to make a poor country into a successful one, they could’ve just stayed at home and done it. They won’t be wanting to invade Africa, or all the poor nations of Asia, etc. Oh no, parasites always have to go where there’s a nice big fat host for them to suck the blood from. Leeches and parasites (not to mention they bring actual parasites with them from wherever they originate, it’s the only they give us besides higher crime and a bigger tax burden).

Does not the golden rule apply to all?.

Is Mexico following the golden rule on this?.

Is the rest of the world following the golden rule on this...is the church?

Mexico dump its burden on US and we get lecture's from hypocrites that are not stepping up themselves

Yes, would you ever in your wildest dreams up until Obozo, had ever thought that taxpaying Americans would actually be forced to pay to get exotic and heretofore unknown diseases in our own country, at the same time as we are forced to subsidise in the style to which they expect to become accustomed, the ones who give us the diseases?

Yes, the marxists are bleeding us dry. Wait until all the American citizens who mistakenly vote these people in learn that there is no more money, because illegal aliens, and so called moslem refugees have drained the system.

I have thought from the start that there’s some unanswered questions about why the previous pope stepped down to make way for this crypto-marxist.
