The ‘Ethics’ of Trump’s Border Wall
A wall would cause harm to immigrants and refugees, all of whom are equal to us in the eyes of God.
Is the border wall ethical? President Trump has suggested the wall is moral and those who oppose it immoral. His critics claim the opposite.
To answer this, we have to consider its effect on humans. What harm could a border wall cause to immigrants and refugees, all of whom are equal to us in the eyes of God?
Some people who cross the border are in desperate search of work to support their families. A wall would probably drive them into more remote areas of the desert or mountains, possibly to their deaths, as the forces driving them — violence, persecution and extreme poverty — are more life threatening than a risky border crossing. In fact, close to 8,000 migrants have died in Arizona and parts of Texas since the construction of the San Diego and El Paso sectors of the wall in the mid-1990s.
The latest arrivals at our border are primarily asylum seekers from the Northern Triangle of Central America, who, when they cross the border and ask for protection, are in compliance with both our domestic and our international laws — the Refugee Act of 1980 and the 1951 United Nations Refugee Convention and its 1967 protocols.
A wall would prevent asylum seekers from asking for protection at any point along our border — their right under the law — and would leave many of them at the mercy of drug cartels and other criminal groups in northern Mexico. More humane ways to achieve border security can be found to avoid these harmful consequences, through technology, additional legal avenues for entry and policies that address the factors pushing migration.

Hey Cardinal, stuff it.
Predatory pedophile priest protectors should STFU about morality.
“Is the church going to pay all of their expenses?”
Actually this farce of a “church” is happy to take millions of taxpayer dollars to help “resettle” them in your neighborhood. After they take their cut off the top for “expenses”, of course.
And they’ll call you a racist if you object in any way.
The American RCC has devolved into a criminal enterprise.

The Cardinal hates Trump. One of the most pro-life presidents we ever had.
A wall would cause harm to immigrants and refugees
That’s the point
follow the money, right into the church
Where is his New York Times article about the murder of infants, now enshrined into law by New York state/
Maybe a wall would and maybe it wouldn’t hurt immigrants. I don’t really care. It will help American citizens.
This dude sounds liberal. He’s been fed some talking points.
Thought this was an Onion piece from the title.
The NY Slimes doesn’t even believe in God.
Is there a lock on the Rectory Door? I’ll bet there is. >>
It’s a fortress and he is surrounded by police at public appearances and at mass. A few yrs. ago, someone walked up to the sanctuary and clocked an auxiliary bishop while celebrating mass!!
Do you really believe this, or are you trying to stir the pot?????
Come in legally and no one is hurt.
.... Illegal Trespassers don't ....
Printed in the paper which actually advocates genocide.
-—— Build the Wall ———
We’re going to have plenty of refugees, once it’s in place.
They’ll be from Europe, and they’ll be fleeing countries destroyed by uncontrolled immigration.
They’ll be the kind of immigrants America wants.
I think Trump knows this.
I'm surprised the pederast-by-association didn't work global warming into his boilerplate/talkingpoint screed.
