Catholic leaders in the busiest part of Texas for U.S.-Mexico border crossings fear a new executive order from Governor Greg Abbott, which bars non-government vehicles from transporting migrants in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19, could have precisely the opposite effect.
“It’s definitely going to have very serious consequences and keep us from helping the community stay safe, because we’re not able to help these families [that test positive for COVID-19] isolate and quarantine,” Sister Norma Pimentel, the executive director of Catholic Charities...
“I foresee things getting very bad because of this,” Pimentel said.
The Humanitarian Respite Center, run by Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley, is often the first place U.S. Customs and Border Protection brings migrant families that cross the border.
Before migrants enter the respite center, they’re tested for COVID-19 nearby. Those who test negative go to the respite center where they are provided food, clothes, medicine, rest and other essentials before they continue on to the next leg of their journey.
Migrants who test positive are brought to certain hotels in the area CCRGV has arranged to quarantine until they test negative. In that circumstance, there are doctors and nurses that check on them regularly, and volunteers that drop off any essentials the families need so that “the family remains in isolation and not out in the community,” Pimentel said.
Now that Abbott’s executive order potentially prevents the respite center from bringing COVID-19 positive migrants to the designated quarantine locations, Bishop Daniel Flores of Brownsville says, “They risk infecting other people,” which is “why it’s counterproductive.”
The executive order, signed by Abbott July 28, mandates that only federal, state, and local law enforcement officials are permitted to provide ground transportation to migrants that are detained by CBP at the border.

The Catholic Church in East Texas has been selling fake IDs to illegal aliens for decades. I worked in a position many years ago where I knew this. The border patrol knew about it then but were helpless to stop it. The Catholic Church is a corrupt communist organization.
I think they were giving them fake ID’s, not selling them.
These leftists just can’t get it thru their heads.
He’s not blaming illegal aliens. He is blaming the federal government for failing to protect our border, and then releasing illegal immigrants into the population that have no known criminal history or disease history; all that.
These so-called religious types need to shut their pie holes, quit trying to score lefty political points, and then actually serve those they say they are trying to serve.
As Christ said, render unto Caesar...
Follow the money — Catholic Charities does, for sure.
Catholic Charities should honor immigration laws, and set up on the other side of the border to provide humanitarian assistance.
I have written the bishops in San Diego and Los Angeles and asked them what’s wrong with honoring our immigration laws (while they illegally and immorally harbor illegal immigrants).
Again — follow the money.
Catholic Charities is a criminal organization. Among the largest human smuggling groups in the world,
1949:
“It envisages a complete governmental program that will virtually take over the entire field of child welfare. How can we maintain our spirit of Christian charity, our spirit of brotherhood, without the appeal of the great charitable institutions for the care of children?”
He said it would “bring the Federal Government with all its rules and regulations into every community in the United States to set up governmental programs for the care of children” and that the legislation implied “national control over family life”.
Catholic Charities whores for commies and democrats... To refer to them as ‘the Church’ is insane.
Bought and paid for... and working AGAINST what’s best for our country.
Cut the damn tax breaks for these....
What’s your excuse this time, RCC apologists?
It's the same folks who look down on Christians who love to brag about 'the church (Catholics) doing the dirty work of communism. I'll bet the person who wrote this piece is an atheist and hates God.
EXACTY... COVID IS THE GOVERNMENT’S FAULT!
GOVERNMENT LIES ARE GIVEN OUT BY UN-AMERICAN MEDIA
If they were truly concerned about those people they would set up their ‘relief’ missions south of the US border.
It’s always the Catholic Charities.
Remember who hid the Dallas Ebola family. Remember where Beto’s war chest went.
“Red Diaper Catholics”, starring The Commie Reverend Mommy, Sister Norma Pimentel.
Tax the Church!
True.
But the illegals can't illegally vote south of the border, because the Mexican government won't let them.
Unlike third-world Mitthole America...
Seems like there are only two groups of Catholics,
“The “Red Diaper Catholics” would cease to exist if they weren’t held in safe protection by the “Depends Catholics”.
They can always be counted on to keep the c*** hid safely inside.
... by bringing into the community illegal alien families infected with CoVID, instead of isolating them in your church properties. And you're getting what? $10k / family from the Feds.
Not billions; millions.

Don’t blame God for this.
Blame yourself for propagating a culture like that in Noah’s time and in Sodom and Gomorrah.
