“The last census reported, by self-ascription, that 95% of the population is Christian. Roman Catholics are 89% of the total population, 47% percent of whom attend church services weekly. In absolute terms, Mexico has the world’s second largest number of Catholics after Brazil.”
But the government and oligaries are decidedly anti-Catholic. The Church cannot change the government structures that insist on maintaining those oligarchies. And in America too we are insisting on maintaining those oligarchies by refusing to enforce our immigration laws.
“Mexico is a mess. If the Catholic Church wants to make political and economic pronouncements, it seems like a good place to start.”
And do you think the government there is listening? Do you think the oligarchies there are listening? Pray tell show me how.
“If 89% of Mexicans were Southern Baptists, I’d be saying the same thing to the SBC.”
No, I don’t think you would.
“Free markets mean that if you don’t want your job - leave. If you aren’t willing, that is your choice.”
And if ALL of the jobs are the same in terms of abuse? Seriously, you’re dreaming nonsense if you think the Sadler Report did not accurately report the situation ALL OVER THE UK.
“And if an employer is endangering its employees, then you can work to get laws changed - and they were.”
They were changed - after murders, arsons, street fights, riots and, oh yeah, unions were formed.
“Compare that to unions - rewarding the lazy and punishing the hardworking. No thanks.”
Unions got the laws changed. Plain and simple. They used street muscle often to make it happen. That’s just plain history.
Everyone who voluntarily works for another chose to be in that circumstance. Both parties believe they get the better end of the deal.
What don’t you understand, Vlad?

No, I don’t think you would.
Please do not tell me what I would do or not. I know myself.
Did you see the report where, along with abortion, the Pope raised immigration with Obama? I’m guessing he wasn’t on the side of strict enforcement of the laws...
I’m not sure I’d hold up the UK as an example of free markets. Their society was and is hierarchical.
People making choices. Freedom. FREE Republic. Think about it.
