Americans have a right to safety and to have solvent public institutions, but that cannot come at the cost of immigrants’ basic human rights.

That is precisely the kind of thinking that got us into this mess in the first place. First, define exactly what those "basic human rights" are and then determine who is responsible for protecting those rights.

No matter how you define the former, the latter is the responsibility of the illegals' country of origin. Instead of brow-beating the American people over this issue, governments, media and social institutions should be taking those governments of origin to task.

"First, define exactly what those "basic human rights" are and then determine who is responsible for protecting those rights.

The credo upon which this country was founded states;

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Tell me how Archbishop Chaput's statement differs from that.

Very good, and you are right.
