Chicago, IL. - The president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops on Saturday called on the White House to end immigration raids that split up families. Cardinal Francis George, archbishop of Chicago and leader of the U.S. Roman Catholic bishops' conference, spoke at a northwest Chicago church.
His comments were greeted by cheers from the hundreds gathered. Without naming President Barack Obama, George said the current administration can fulfill its promises of change by working toward immigration reform.
"I stand with other faith leaders and all of you gathered here today and with every immigrant family in this nation to call on our government to end immigration raids and the separation of families," George said.
The raids are part of stepped-up federal enforcement targeting undocumented immigrants. George said stopping the raids would show the administration's sincerity to voters in the immigrant community. The rally was part of a 17-city series of meetings organized by advocates of changes to U.S. immigration policy.

“Cardinal” you are for the birds!
Immigration Ping
Once again the Catholic Church supporting the baby killer abortionist. Amnesty will give the Dems power forever.
I am getting to loathe the (liberal) U.S. Catholic Church. Don’t tell me there is only one Catholic Church. The U.S. one sucks. Friend of ACORN and supporting Notre Dame hosting the muslim and baby killer.
Cardinal, it’s easy. Don’t split up families, send them ALL back.
Is Pelosi doing her ventriloquist act AGAIN?
We wouldn’t “split up families” if we’d get rid of that dumbass “anchor baby” gig the moron’s on the court came up with.
Correction: It’s the Immigration and Nationality Act.
The raids are hurting the Sunday take! Never forget, it’s ALL ABOUT the money!
E-VERIFY!
Shouldn’t he be more concerned with baby killers?
The Bible is pretty clear on obeying Caesar’s laws.
The Catholic Church and Leftists bent on turning America into a Turd World Country are in complete agreement.
I imagine they are getting what they want. Oddly the end result will destroy the Church along with this country.But hey, I’m supposed to work 9 months out of the year so Cardinal so’n so can can smile benignly on Javier and his 9 kids that get free health care, education, legal aid........
“stopping the raids would show the administration’s sincerity to voters in the immigrant community.”
Since when did we need to show sincerity and compassion to those who break our laws????
ROUND UP AND DEPORT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE CRIMINALS NOW!!!!!!!!
“Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” (Matthew 22:17-21
That "mi casa, su casa" thing didn't work out so well for the mexicans. So we are not going to repeat it.
End tax shield for the church.
Remember Jesus’s last words, “They know not what they do...”
They are getting involved in politics, huh?
We are in the last days when even the churches are corrupt.
