Catholics decry failure of bishops to teach Catholicism.

Wonder why the Catholic Bishops never ‘decry’ the failure of the mexican oligarchs to provide jobs for their own poor?

Catholic church wants more illegals in the pews and more dineros in the collection plates.

“We cannot accept the toil of a large underclass which does not have full rights in our society.”

They will be welcome if they come through established legal channels.
Anyone who violates the law is not entitled to any rights to our society.

Pawn x Bishop!

You are absolutely right, Mr. Bishop.

We should send them home, pronto.

As a nation, we cannot continue to employ an immigration system that leads to the exploitation of millions of our fellow human beings. We cannot accept the toil of a large underclass which does not have full rights in our society. This strikes at the very character of our nation and lessens us as a people.

Yoohoo, Bishops of the most high (high on something) -- talk to the Chamber of Commerce about their human trafficking, their exploiting the American taxpayer, exploiting the small towns, bankrupting hospitals, etc. -- talk to the lawyers who would have had their fees paid by the government in representing illegals -- talk to the countries from which these illegals are leaving in hopes of finding a better future. Looks as if these high-and-mighty are part of the problem....

“As a nation, we cannot continue to employ an immigration system that leads to the exploitation of millions of our fellow human beings,” bishop Barnes said.”

Exploitation will continue for as long as we allow these people to continue to break the law. When we build a fence and stop the flow of illegal activity I would be willing to begin discussing how these people might be included in our country, either as American’s, who will have to meet certain standards to achieve this status, or as documented workers.

Exactly, what laws might I be allowed to break, Bishop Barnes?? Payment of income tax, software theft, sneaking into the movie theater because it is too expensive??

How about hiring some of these folks to work on my lawn and paying them under the table? Now that they are here they’re going to need the money? What is the correct rate to hire them at? 2 bucks a day? $10 an hour? Or maybe I should turn them in to the authoriuties?

I want to do the Christian thing, but it all seems so confusing.

If the United States is going to have to be the caretaker to all the world's poor, we should be given access to all the world resources.

Or....

We could build the fence!!!

“The U.S. bishops decried failure of immigration reform...”

That’s okay, all Bible-believing patriotic Baptist preachers are very happy about the failure of that bill.

Why should we have implied to us that the Catholic bishops are supposed to be held in any higher esteem than our non-Catholic Christian pastors, evangelists and missionaries ???

I suggest the author of the article do some interviews with local church pastors around the country . . . you know, just for balance.

Bishop, if you’re so worried about the “large underclass”, then “go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor.”

You’ll forgive me for not holding my breath.

Bishop Gerald R. Barnes is confused. All of the illegal aliens have FULL RIGHTS somewhere else. They are rather like tourists when you get right down to it. Tourists also have FULL RIGHTS somewhere else, and if they want to exercise them all they need do is return home.

The illegal aliens are no more isolated in a subclass than are tourists, those on business visas, or foreign students.

What would be wrong would be to convert them from a group of foreign people (with rights elsewhere) into a subclass of Z-visa holders with limited rights, and quite possibly NO RIGHTS IN THEIR HOME COUNTRIES as a consequence of having a Z-visa.

Several candidates for public office in Baja California (a quaint Mexican state located on the shores of the Pacific, just south of California) discovered that even though they were full citizens of Mexico, they'd failed to file a certain form 10 years before, and as a result their accidental births in the United States prohibited them from running for office.

Same sort of thing could happen to people tricked into Z-visas. This issue wasn't discussed in the public hearings of course, so none of us knows what Mexico will do when a Z-visa holder wants to come back home.

The Bishop should have been objecting to the CREATION OF A SUBCLASS, not the existence of one.

BTW, does this guy have an uptodate visa or not.

So, does Pope Bennie have a problem with the Mexicans and Central Americans streaming across our borders ILLEGALLY, or is he like the Opus Dei folks that I knew who considered them foot soldiers in the “renewal” of America?

I just figured it out.

Bishop Barnes is a standard bearer for the church, ...

whereas Fred Barnes is the “weekly standard” bearer for Rinos.

Both Barnes have trouble recognizing that a rule of law and the enforcement of the rule of law plays an important role in providing for compassionate orderly, beneficial, thriving society of which they should be thankful recipients.

As St. John of the Cross says, "The walls of hell are lined with the skulls of bishops." I say this as a devout Roman Catholic: maybe if our Bishops cared more about preaching the Gospel of Our Lord and less about their press they wouldn't be losing so many Catholics. It's their rebellion and liberalism (of which the homosexual pedophilia scandal is a result) that has damaged the church. Start fearlessly taking on the corrupt culture and deny communion to pro-abortion "Catholics" and see how fast the church would grow! Maybe they wouldn't feel the need to import Catholics from other countries. I'd gladly donate money to start more Catholic schools IN MEXICO and help start businesses IN MEXICO if they are really worried about the poverty there. Insisting on fleecing American taxpayers is hardly Christian charity.
