Why are US bishops attacking Trump’s mass deportation plans?

With Trump’s strict immigration policies, the USCCB and its cohorts Catholic Charities and Catholic Social Services collectively stand to lose nearly $2.4 billion over the next four years, a sum that pew collections are unlikely to replace.

Now, with Donald Trump back in the White House, there are plans for mass deportations.

U.S. cardinals and bishops are vocally opposing these measures. Interestingly, these same prelates have been relatively silent on issues like abortion and assisting pregnancy centers. Could their protests be driven by the potential financial losses their organizations might face under Trump’s migration policies? We are talking billions of dollars in loss.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The mass migration of immigrants into the United States over the past four years constitutes an invasion in the country. Catholic Charities and the USCCB have enabled this onslaught.

The U.S. Catholic Church, benefitting greatly from the dangerous incursion of illegal immigrants, would tell us that we are to welcome the stranger to safeguard the dignity of the illegal immigrants. Yet whenever an action is taken, we know by Newton’s Law there is an opposite reaction. What constitutes a takeover by migrants in certain cities of our country has resulted in diminished rights for our own citizens.

Now with Trump ascending to the White House, there are plans to address this imbalance that has seriously harmed the common good of our nation.

Thou dost protest too greatly, prelates.

Do you find it curious that U.S. bishops are publicly protesting the deportations, but they are as quiet as church mice when it comes to ending abortion and protecting the pre-born?

Churches are community organizer businesses these days. They should lose their tax exempt status over their political activities.

Because the US Bishops/Catholic Charities run NGOs that human/child traffic across the border in exchange for millions of federal dollars.

,,, the bishops’ collective should relocate to the sources that the immigrants originated and apply tea and sympathy there.

You cannot call this a [Catholic Caucus] when it is about President Trump and politics.

Since Catholic immigration first got started in the 1840s a goal of their European church and the domestic and international left has been to overcome Protestant America.

Americans got some control over it finally in the 1920s, but the 1960 election unleashed it again.

“However, if there is one man who can take the most credit for the 1965 act, it is John F. Kennedy. Kennedy seems to have inherited the resentment his father Joseph felt as an outsider in Boston’s WASP aristocracy. He voted against the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, and supported various refugee acts throughout the 1950s.

In 1958 he wrote a book, A Nation of Immigrants, which attacked the quota system as illogical and without purpose, and the book served as Kennedy’s blueprint for immigration reform after he became president in 1960.
In the summer of 1963, Kennedy sent Congress a proposal calling for the elimination of the national origins quota system. He wanted immigrants admitted on the basis of family reunification and needed skills, without regard to national origin.

After his assassination in November, his brother Robert took up the cause of immigration reform, calling it JFK’s legacy. In the forward to a revised edition of A Nation of Immigrants, issued in 1964 to gain support for the new law, he wrote, “I know of no cause which President Kennedy championed more warmly than the improvement of our immigration policies.” Sold as a memorial to JFK, there was very little opposition to what became known as the Immigration Act of 1965.”

They like to hear those "migrant" coins clink.

For every migrant coin that clings,
Another bishop's veal medallion springs …

Sold as a memorial to JFK, there was very little opposition to what became known as the Immigration Act of 1965.

But by the time Brother Ted and LBJ pushed it all merit-based criteria was removed and it favored Third World drones and parasites over skilled Europeans and Asians.

How's the heat down there, boys?
