Benedict wants to shrink the church anyway, get rid of the cafeteria catholics, so don't expect anyone to genuflect your way with that argument anymore.
I see this as one of those things that the church is in a bit of a bind with. It has to take a humanitarian position. It's like the Iraq war. JPII said "The Churches position is always against war," which made a lot of people around here angry. But I think what that really means is that the Church knows that war is a political reality, but it is something that the church may not get involved in lest it be accused of another crusade.
I, myself consider myself to be pro immigrant. Once we stop the spigot, and find out who these people are, I have no problem with them coming here to work.
We just have to shut off the spigot FIRST.
So am I. Legal immigrant. The illegals are going to destroy the USA. Round 'em up and send them home. Close the Borders. Period.
Or do you also support burglars and theives (which is what these people are)?
