The pontiff, asked by reporters on his flight to the U.S. Tuesday if he would address Hispanic immigration, said the U.S. must do "everything possible to fight ... all forms of violence so that immigrants may lead dignified lives."

If these exact words had come out of McCain's mouth........FR would have melted due to angry posts.

I’m sure Tancredo will get a ton of flak for this, but he’s right.

Thanks to Tom Tancredo. Somebody had to say it. On this subject, the Pope’s time would be better spent on a trip to the Latin countries where he’d insist on needed reforms and an end to the widespread corruption in the police forces and throughout their governments.

Tell those few corrupt oligarchs to start spreading their nations’ wealth around.

I don't think that's what set Rep Tancredo off. I'd like to see why he thinks the Pope "added his voice to the open borders lobby by encouraging the president to give the 20 to 30 million illegal aliens in this country a free pass to stay here."

I'm not saying that he di or he didn't. I just don't know, and no one appears to be saying what actually happened.

Well said. Addressing Latin American corruption would do more to fix the “violence and indignity” the Pope speaks of.

Pope Benedict XVI is encouraging Latin Americans to come to the U.S. to bolster flagging membership in the Catholic Church.

That is an idiotic statement. If they are Catholics in Mexico then they are Catholics wherever they go.

They’re POOR Catholics in Mexico. Tithes and offerings in the US are much healthier.

Just saying.

I was looking more for where the Pope told President Bush to support amnesty, but thanks.

Tancredo is right. The pope is wrong and pandering to the Latin Americans.

Such a nasty little man. It’s no wonder he did so poorly in his pathetic run for the nomination. He’s a big *

Pope Benedict XVI: ‘The fundamental solution... that there is no longer any need to immigrate’
National Catholic Reporter ^ | 4/15/2008

Benedict XVI:

It seems to me that we have to distinguish between measures to be taken immediately, and longer-term solutions. The fundamental solution [would be] that there is no longer any need to immigrate, that there are sufficient opportunities for work and a sufficient social fabric that no one any longer feels the need to immigrate. We all have to work for this objective, that social development is sufficient so that citizens are able to contribute to their own future.

Sounds like something Tanc could agree with
(It also puts the ball in Mexico’s court)

Well, one way to fight violence would be to deport the gang-bangers, but McCain voted against that proposal.

Here are the Senators who voted against the Cornyn amendment , which would have established a permanent bar for gang members, terrorists, and other criminals looking to snag a shamnesty visa. Republicans underlined:

Another way to interpret the Pope's remark is that we should give illegal aliens a nice, peaceful ride home so as to avoid violence in this country bu those reaching for the bottom rungs of the economic ladder.

Lets face it . The seats are empty . La is a huge market and it is in near collapse . The scandals have done major damage. Mahoney and the rest of the gasbags are in no position to mount the high horse. As in all matters , the rich and well seated never face the blow-back from their fetishes. Just like all of the border pimps , they need the bodies , who can bring the cash.
