“Please offer proof, for both claims.”
Mormons: Pal, I am a Mormon, although I detest what Mormonism stands for. I’m just too busy with my life to bother to eff around with them getting my name removed as a member.
My maternal grandparents had a big old home in Provo. Utah. It was originally a “polygamist’s place” so it had two living units connected to one master bedroom. My grandparents lived in one half, and rented the other. When my mother died a few years ago, I drove by that home and stopped to take a picture. A young Hispanic woman came out of what used to be the rental side pushing a baby carriage (but don’t they all?) and started questioning me in Spanish as to why I was taking pictures (I speak Spanish). From our conversation, I learned that there were now FIVE Mexican families living in that house, that they were all converts to Mormonism and had been brought to Provo by church members.
Catholics:
As for the Catholics, you only have to avail yourself of the pronouncements of the Archbishop of Los Angeles, Roger Cardinal Mahoney who says his church’s law is above the laws of the US and he’s going to continue to bring illegals into this country because “it’s the right thing to do!”
As far as I am concerned both the Mormons and the Catholics are violating this country’s immigration laws. Churches cannot be allowed to escape prosecution for there illegal acts.
Utah has attracted businesses, in search of young well educated workers, which Utah offers.
I am not buying your anecdotes in support of an accusation the Mormon and Catholic churches as institutions, are engaged with illegal immigration.
Mahony retired in 2011 and was barred from public ministry in Los Angeles in 2013 by his successor. But your point stands about the the hierarchy and the illegals, yeesh.
