I don’t know a lot about this recent action, so correct me if I’m wrong, but the issue that the Vatican has isn’t with illegal immigration; it’s with ethnic discrimination. There are plenty of Muslim / African illegal immigrants in France, but France permits them to remain. Yet France is targeting the Roma for expulsion. Why? Because Muslims and Africans vote and participate in the political / social structures, and the Roma don’t.
What’s even worse is that the Muslims / Africans are invaders, moving to France in part to effect social change of what it means to be French. The Roma, on the other hand, are nomads, who have moved in and out of France since long before the fifth Republic, or even the first Republic. They don’t have a homeland, per se. (The name Roma has nothing to do with the name Romania.)
The only Roma homeland in Europe was called “The Republic of Rugosa”. During one lengthy period the warrior caste associated with the Romni tribes actually became the primary military force of the city state......................This is the very place the first Romni appeared to Western and Southern Europeans, the Dalmatian Coast being part of the West in those days. This is also where they were “INADVERTENTLY” named gypsies......................Good brief article on this may be found at: http://balkanproject.org/roma/history1.shtml I’ve read most of the documents identified in this piece.
Because they'll rob ya blind, that's why.
