RUSH: This is Ann and Ed in Southern California. Welcome. It's great to have you on the phone. Hello.
ANN: Hello.
RUSH: Hi.
ANN: Hi, Rush. How are you?
RUSH: Just fine. Thank you very much.
ANN: Great. Well, we have some interesting news. My husband Eddie is on the phone with us. We live in Southern California, and we're Catholic, active Catholics in our community, and there was a town hall meeting last evening, emergency meeting called by our local parish priest, ordered by our bishop (unintelligible) and the Archdiocese of San Bernardino. They have made the decision that they're going to absorb the immigrants that are coming through because the federal government called the bishop's office on Monday and they're gonna be busing these immigrants to our communities and asking us to open our homes and to house them for up to a month. The church will reimburse us for any out-of-pocket expenses and we were told not to talk to anybody about it, especially the media. I'm not especially happy about it. My husband is a retired doctor, and he will share his concerns with you regarding this matter. Eddie, do you want to go ahead and talk about your thoughts?

Sean Hannity also said today, we should be compassionate to the children, and good for him, too.
LOL That would not be using the US government nor would it advance the socialistic agenda.
Sure, you need a question or tws: Why is it taking the Catholic Church and a Mormon (Glenn Beck) to show charity to these children? Where are the protestants? Why aren't they showing some compassion to these children?
They are illegal, but does that mean they should be left in a holding facility or put out on the street until they are returned to their families?
Who knows what kind of harm could befall them.
And as far as not telling the media God doesn't need His Church to advertise it's good works.
Granny; you are BAaaaaad!
No; it doesn't.
They should NEVER have crossed OUR border to begin with.
The Mexicans; that are ALLOWING them to cross THEIR country to INVADE ours; can have the 'compassion' award!
It ain’t abating lawlessness, it’s abetting same.
This might not be official policy from Rome, but it might not be all that hard to read Francis’ leftier screeds as encouraging this sort of attitude.
If you folks want to shower these kids with charity then feel free to DO SO with YOUR OWN DIMES and don’t steal my dimes to do it with!
They are here now, as Christians we have a duty and responsibility. It is called a corporal act of mercy. Part of the whole you will know them by their love thing.
SO why don’t they use the sweat of their own corporal corps to help the kids instead of slinging them on everybody else’s shoulders huh?
I am asking that as a serious question with no sarcasm at all, because I have not seen anything official from anyone.
I know that Glenn Beck is going down on money raised by Mercury 1 and his own pocket.
You show me something definitive and I will rethink my position, but not on hearsay. I may not change it but I will rethink it.
Who’s paying for the bus trips, the swarm of officials to watch over the cases, etc.?
I have stated my position very clearly.
You want to worm around the implications of bringing the kids to the place... even if the place IS all privately funded.
Put it this way. If they want to be Morally Superior about it, then they should be picking up all the expenses starting at the first step the “kids” made over the border.
Otherwise they are being an Attractive Nuisance.
Frankly they should be advocating for sending/refusing the kids back to their country of origin, and helping them THERE if they want to be of help. Why not set up help camps in Mexico?

My 'duty and responsibility' is to hold their little hand as they climb aboard the BUS BACK HOME!
Part of the "Stupid is as stupid does" thing.
There is NO 'definitive' evidence that Mary is now in Heaven; helping Jesus with His chores; yet you BELIEVE that!
Today, roughly 3,300 of our OWN future citizens will be killed before birth.
Have YOU any duty and responsibility to these unfortunate individuals?
