It's a heated topic .. with no quick solutions to fixed this illegal mess
I was lurking myself for a while hoping cooler heads would prevail .. but as usual .. I couldn't keep my big fat mouth shut ;0)
I've just added the name calling to my long list on my resume
The latest I've been called was a post menopausal biddy .. LOL!
LOL! Now that is a new name to me!! You must be sooooo proud!
I try to keep my mouth shut too, but it gets to me when some try to act like they know what goes on, and they're from an area with little impact from illegal immigration. (No, I don't live in California, Arizona, New Mexico or Texas, but I stayed in a Holiday Express last night....) I've been lectured by other Catholics who think I'm some sadistic type who has no compassion when I question the Church's right to dictate to others on this matter. If we want to show real compassion perhaps those who are lecturing can go to Southern and Central American countries and minister to the poor there and petition their leaders to take better care of their own. No one was really suggesting that priests or nuns would be prosecuted for giving people a helping hand. But, neither should they be encouraging them to break the law.
this matter needs to be discussed in the Public Forum without fear of being labeled a bigot or a racist when one is only trying to find realistic answers to major problems!!
