Nuclear families would be prioritized under the proposal, while it would be harder for extended family members to immigrate based on family connections.

Why do the francisbishops have a problem with the above?

It used to be that only immediate family members were allowed in, such as someone’s parent, child , or sibling. Period. Then the must have expanded it.

Need to go back to the stricter interpretation.

I haven’t been to mass x 40 years, and this left-wing garbage won’t get me there anytime soon. That said there isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t pray & thank the Lord for all He has given me.

Need a 50 year Moratorium on immigration.

Legal immigration is a scam, to say nothing of the hordes of illegals invading.

Conflating illegal versus legal immigration. USCCB was corrupt from day one, and I care little what they say about anything.

Families are the foundation of our faith

Wrong-o Bishop. Christ is the foundation of our faith. Read the Bible, says it right in there.

Aren’t “families” a bit too “balanced” and “clerical” for these bishops? ( https://fatima.org/news-views/blessed-are-the-unbalanced/ )

Oh, I guess it depends on what the definition of “families” is.

Were German families foundational during the 3rd Reich? How about Muslim families during the Battle of Tours?

They can be foundational in their own country.

The last thing we need is an opinion from Rome and its acolytes.

[[US bishops oppose Trump immigration plan, say families are foundational]]

They sure are bishop- So why are you taking MY money away from me to pay for ILLEGAL ALIENS who have come here ILLEGALLY?

Why do you think only illegal families matter? You are taking food and heat and rent money away from OUR families- putting us in financial hardships, in order that people BREAKING OUR LAWS can get all kinds of freebies from our government and not have to work to get them!

You wanna give them YOUR Money? That’s fine- send it to them in the countries they live in! NOT in OUR country when they break our laws!

Catholic Bishops and leaders cannot compete. They are intimidated by Protestants.

Catholic Bishops need to deport their traitorous selves back down to South American h@llholes.

Bishops are losers.

All of the sudden ‘families’ matter to Liberals

I’m all for keeping families together, right where they are. Don’t bring them here, we have enough and we wouldn’t want to separate all those aunts and uncles from their families, so stay where you are and all will be well with the catholic bishops.
