The bishops of Mexico have renewed their calls for the U.S. and Mexican governments to reach an accord on legalizing the millions of undocumented aliens living and working in the United States.
Cardinal Norberto Rivera Carrea of Mexico City said, "We've always asked authorities to meet their obligations, and one of them is to make sure (migrants') human rights are respected."
Secretary of State Colin Powell said last week that the Bush Administration would try to convince Congress to adopt a guest worker program.
Hundreds of Mexicans have died in recent years trying to cross the U.S. border and many clerics argue that people have the right to seek jobs even if they have to move to another country to find them.
_________________________________________________________ Are the Cardinal, Bishops, and other clerics advocating illegality? Haven't they had enough problems with other issues of immorality? Are the American's human rights being respected when illegal aliens tromp on them?
No amnesty, no legalization. Ask your countrymen to come back to mexico and then enter our country the lawful way.
Dear Cardinal Carrea---we will happily assure that criminal immigrants from Mexico and any other country have their human rights respected identically to those of the current residents of our prisons---OR----they can go back where they (illegally) came from, and enjoy the same human rights that they left behind.
How about beefing up INS and deporting all the illegals? Then the bishops can teach classes, especially the English language, and line the Mexicans up to come into the country LEGALLY. Haven't these bishops read the line "give unto Caesar what is Caesar's and give unto me what is mine" being that Caesar would represent governmental authority. And the govt doesn't want ILLEGALS.
The inability to distinguish between legal immigrants and illegal immigrants is just one symptom of the corruption of the Mexican Catholic Church.
An added benny....if there are in the U.S. the local parishes don't have to deal with millions of underclass citizens. Bonus!
They'd get better gas mileage in a Civic.
And how many divisions do the bishops have?
"We've always asked authorities to meet their obligations, and one of them is to make sure (migrants') human rights are respected." Right. And you hold the Mexican government to the same standard? Sure. Unhuh. Yeah.
