There is a talking point that the libs are pushing to deflect discussion of the total issue. That is somehow clergy won't be able to help illegals somehow. I think it's a strained interpretation, but it's out there.

Catholic church is hemoraging members so its leaders have a monetary interest in increasing Latin American immigration, legal or not.

I agree. I'm Catholic but when I read this I decided no more money from me. It's bad enough when my tax dollars are used to help criminals but there is no way I'm just going to give it to the church or their charities so they can set-up programs like this in conjunction with ICE.

The diocese also is working with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to obtain certification that will allow Catholic Charities to help immigrants navigate the legal system, said Bill Hoey, vice president of Catholic Charities. The diocese will not necessarily provide immigrants with lawyers, but will help file paperwork and answer questions about citizenship, he said.
