Look, I can understand the appeal of the position of wanting people to have a safe and better life, but why doesn’t this catholic site spend some time encouraging Mexicans to fight for change in Mexico?
Excellent question.
Because fighting for change in mexico would require, on a very large scale, a degree of organization and discipline not available to very many mexicans. They are OK in small groups - gangs. Rather than fight for and build up something for themselves in mexico, they would much rather come here and take what we have.
Oooh, that'd be risky.
Perhaps the same reason that 17th century protestants encouraged each other to flee to the new world, rather than staying and fighting to reform England? Perhaps the same reason that 19th century Irish set out for America rather than working to make Ireland more prosperous? Perhaps the same reason that early 20th century Poles......
I think it's all about gov't dollars. At any rate, it sure isn't about following the bible, or they wouldn't be encouraging criminals to steal from us.
An almost completely ignored part of this whole debacle.
