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)

Thank you! Yes the Pope talked about immigration, but it is only logical that every latin American resident can't be accommodated by the US. He is a brilliant man, and I doubt he meant that. He spoke of many countries who have immigrated here, as well. And I believe he meant LEGAL immigration. As for bringing Catholics in from those countries, they have Churches in all of them, predominately Catholic. And most of them are far more strict about Church doctrine than the US Churches are, as a whole.
