U.S. Bishops Urge Obama Admin Not to Send Back Unaccompanied Illegal Children
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | July 3, 2014 | Dr. Susan Berry

The chairman of the U.S. Bishops’ Committee on Migration has called upon the Obama administration to halt any plans to send back unaccompanied illegal immigrant minors who have been flooding across the U.S. border.

“This is a very vulnerable population which has been targeted by organized crime networks in Central America,” said Bishop Eusebio Elizondo in a press release Wednesday. “To return them to these criminal elements without a proper adjudication of their cases is unconscionable.”

The bishops have asked the Obama administration to reconsider their proposed request to Congress for “fast track” authority to expedite the removal of unaccompanied children coming to the United States from Central America. Currently, children from non-contiguous countries are permitted to remain in the United States until an immigration judge considers their request for asylum or immigration relief.

“As a nation which has traditionally offered safe haven to those who are persecuted, this proposed policy undercuts our values as a nation,” added Elizondo, who is also auxiliary bishop of Seattle...

As a Christian, I can honestly say I do not understand these people one iota. They’re like another species.

Pro Choice Catholics taught us that we can ignore our Bishops with no consequence.

The Catholic Church in America should pay for their medical care and education and make sure they are separated from the population at large so as not to spread disease.

He’s not a pedophile, he’s a Mexican Supremacist.

A MexiNazi, if you will.

He’s part of the Reconquista, wrapping himself in the false clothing of comforter in chief.

Except he wants to use the U.S. as his doormat.

But that’s OK, because the big deal is...he wants more Hispanics of any flavor for ethnic solidarity, and more Catholics...because then he gets more power over the Protestant gringos.

That’s right bishop. Let the whole freaking world in and make the taxpayer pay for it.

Apparently the Bishops love to spend taxpayer money as much as the politicians do.

Pope Benedict was correct when he said that collective salvation was a demonically inspired belief.

the rcc leadership has always been for treason where illegals are concerned given most are rcc members.

And just to make the point...I didn't even check him until just now:

Eusebio L. Elizondo was born in Victoria Tamaulipas, México. He studied at the Pontifical Georgian University in Rome and was ordained a priest on August 18, 1984

Just another smirking thug from Mexico, looking to get over on the hated WASPs.

What is this creep doing in our country?

It is inhumane not to send them back

Their own parents or other relatives who we will have to let in if they’re not already here, silly. You didn’t think that this bishop would be doing the hard work in all this did you?

it is treason not to send them back. they are deliberately not securing the border, one of their few legitimate reasons for existence.
