This week, President Barack Obama set the change in immigration reform in motion by signing executive orders that would protect some illegal immigrants from deportation and allow some to obtain working permits.
Obama’s controversial plan has been met with mixed reviews, but among those who support the order is Boston’s own Cardinal Sean O’Malley.
“It’s much needed relief and we applaud what he has done,” O’Malley told WBZ-TV’s Paul Burton while handing out Thanksgiving turkey baskets in Dorchester Saturday.
O’Malley said the president’s solution is not a permanent one, but a step in the right direction.
“We have 11 million undocumented workers here is because we need it, and if they were to leave tomorrow it would leave a terrible hole in our country,” O’Malley said.
Obama’s plan may help to identify tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants, including those living in Massachusetts. However, many Republicans disagree with the plan.
“President Obama has turned a deaf ear to the people that he was elected, and he was elected, to serve. But we will not do that as the President undermines the rule of law in our country,” Speaker of the House John Boehner said in response to the order.
O’Malley said that many Catholic charities are preparing for community outreach meetings once the Department of Homeland Security presents a way that immigrants can apply for deportation protections and work permits.
“We’ve already started a multi-lingual telephone line so people can call in, and we will eventually give legal help for people to fill out applications so they can take advantage of this,” O’Malley said.
This announcement will sure help convince Catholics that Democrats are evil and to quit voting for them.
B.S.
Let's give it a try!
He's helping destroy this country.
LET THEM LEARN ENGLISH!!!!!
Thanks to Cardinal Sean and Bishop Elizondo, and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the next time some anti-Catholic bigot FReeper charges that the Catholic Church is an alien force hostile to the U.S. Constitution, I won’t have an answer.
Cardinal O’Malley is no cardinal, he is a turkey. I am embarrased to call him a co-religionist.
Whenever I see a news item about a drunk illegal alien driver killing another American, or another child paralyzed or killed by O’Malley-Gomez Virus, I forward the link to Cardinal Sean:
Stay and fight. Let your views made known. The left never gives up. Neither should we. Give as good(better) as you get. Tell your progressives parishioners after Mass what fools they are for supporting a baby killer like Obama. Tell your priest he is chicken if doesn’t speak out against abortion and gay marriage. There are many that feel like you do, I have. Let’s fight this together.
Lutheran Social Services is right in there with them collecting big bucks on "affordable" low income housing projects etc.
Cardinals O’Malley, Dolan, and Wuerl, and many, many other American bishops, are not Catholics. They were born Democrats, and have moved to the left as the Democrat party has moved to the left.
They can’t get enough of snuggling with pro-abortion politicians. They fully embrace the Democrat party’s goal of flooding the U.S. with illiterate, dependent people who will vote overwhelmingly for pro-abortion Democrats.
It is THE POPES of the past several decades who have blessed with these traitors.
As a consequence of his parents probably not making sure that their son was taught about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers, Cardinal O’Malley unsurprisingly does not seem to understand that the states have never delegated to the corrupt feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate immigration.
So if Cardinal O’Malley wants the feds to have the constitutional authority to decided policy for intrastate immigration issues, including to grant pardons to those who violate such laws, then he must do the following. He must work with state and federal lawmakers to propose an intrastate immigration amendment to the Constitution to the states for ratification. And if the states choose to ratify his amendment then the feds will have the constitutional authority that they need to regulate intrastate immigration and Cardinal O’Malley will be a hero.
> The Catholic Church has probably lost me permanently. I can’t stand them anymore.
IMO they are completely complicit in bringing all the illegal immigrants in to the US and have known many years that this invasion was going to take place. I have looked at the increasing budgets for the Unacommpaned Alien Children Project since 2010 - present and the amounts paid to the Catholic Charities or this program increased by up to 5 times during that time period. Any person of reasonable intelligence would come to the conclusion that there was a reason for the increase, ergo foreknowledge of the coming invasion. JMOOC
There was only one Bing Crosby, great film I watch more than once a year
How the hell long does this moron of a Cardinal think America is going to last if it is given away wholesale to third world animals who don’t give one small damn for America past the money they can wring out of her?
And is he going to applaud when Ovomit makes him do GAY WEDDINGS??
Not ALL Catholic Churches are like this....believe me.
Pretty sure that is a nice excuse for you!!
Poorly catechized?
At evening mass?
Big deal: so they’re Leftists!
At least their THEOLOGY is correct!
