Archbishop Gomez extended his thanks to congressional leaders who supported the legislation but also expressed sadness over its current failure.

“My heart goes out to the thousands of young people who would have been helped by the DREAM Act and were disappointed by the Senate action,” he said. “We will continue to work so that one day soon you will have the opportunity to become Americans.”

“The U.S. Catholic bishops will continue to advocate for humane immigration reform, so that we can attain an immigration system that properly balances the need to protect our national sovereignty with our obligation to honor fundamental human rights.”

Sounds like somebody’s tax exempt status needs to be reviewed.

Well at least we know the views of the anti-american, homosexual, communist wing of the Roman Catholic Church.

Amazing thing that you'd find a Roman Catholic bishop doing so much on behalf of people who will probably become Pentecostals.

Ain't America a grand place!

Although the controversial immigration DREAM Act failed to pass through the Senate last week, the support that the bill garnered in the House was enough to make Archbishop Jose Gomez, chairman of the U.S. Bishops’ Committee on Migration, “confident” that the legislation will succeed in the near future.

Someone needs to inform the Archbiship that the complexion of the House will have been changed somewhat when they next reconvene.

“We will continue to work so that one day soon you will have the opportunity to become Americans.”

BTW this sappy sentiment reeks of naivete - anyone close to the problem knows that any desire to 'become Americans' is driven by selfish personal interests rather than a patriotic sense of wanting to belong.

Any rational person can see that the vast majority of these people otherwise are perfectly happy to remain citizens of their native countries whilte they earn (or are given) a living here.

to re-quote;

“The U.S. Catholic bishops will continue to advocate for humane immigration reform, so that we can attain an immigration system that properly balances the need to protect our national sovereignty with our obligation to honor fundamental human rights.”

Anchor babies are not enough.
Check this out;

SEC. 7. EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION.
(a) In General- The Secretary of Homeland Security shall have exclusive jurisdiction to determine eligibility for relief under this Act, except where the alien has been placed into deportation, exclusion, or removal proceedings either prior to or after filing an application for relief under this Act, in which case the Attorney General shall have exclusive jurisdiction and shall assume all the powers and duties of the Secretary until proceedings are terminated, or if a final order of deportation, exclusion, or removal is entered the Secretary shall resume all powers and duties delegated to the Secretary under this Act.

(b) Stay of Removal of Certain Aliens Enrolled in Primary or Secondary School- The Attorney General shall stay the removal proceedings of any alien who--

(1) meets all the requirements of subparagraphs (A), (B), (C), and (E) of section 4(a)(1);

(2) is at least 12 years of age; and

(3) is enrolled full time in a primary or secondary school.

So now not only will we have babies born here as "anchors" which parents illegally residing in the U.S. deliberately (at times) use to justify their own presence in the United States, but we will have ANCHOR SCHOOL KIDS!!! All they have to do is make it to Junior High School.

“U.S. Bishops’ Committee on Migration”

These traitors should be booted out of the country right behind the illegal invaders.

Let them agitate south of the border.

The Vatican claims to be a foreign Nation.

They remain hypocrites in sealing their nation while calling to open mine.

Gomez would appear to be one of those church people advocating for “social justice” that Glenn Beck has been warning us about.
