POPE FRANCIS: APPLY RULE OF LAW WHEN DEALING WITH IMMIGRANTS

In an address before prefects of a number of Italian cities Saturday, Pope Francis chose to dwell on the topic of immigration, and reaffirmed the need to follow an orderly procedure when dealing with immigrants, in accord with the dictates of the law.

Francis made reference to the “particular impact” of immigration into Italy, “linked to the increase in the world of violent conflict with its tragic consequences on people and on the economies of many countries.” The Pope said that particular skills are needed to deal with the large number of potential immigrants seeking asylum or simply a better life.

Cool! American law says that we must deport the illegal aliens. ALL of them. As the macho, metrosexual leftists like to say, “Let’s Do This!”

The rule of law calls for the expulsion of about 20 million illegals from our country.

The Catholic Church officially teaches that “more prosperous nations are obliged, to the extent they are able, to welcome the foreigner in search of the security and the means of livelihood which he cannot find in his country of origin.”

And the USA currently has plenty of poor of its own and is not so able.

Isn’t it ironic that the majority of those countries “of origin” in this hemisphere are “deeply religious” Catholic countries. Hmmmmm.

Well, if he’s talking about applying the “rule of law”, this is much better than the “come one, come all” sentiments that most of our politicians hold.

In Italy where he was speaking, and in Europe, generally, most of the “immigrants” come from the Middle East and other Islamic countries.

“In an address before prefects of a number of Italian cities Saturday, Pope Francis chose to dwell on the topic of immigration, and reaffirmed the need to follow an orderly procedure when dealing with immigrants, in accord with the dictates of the law.”

But apparently when it comes to illegal aliens smarming into the US from Mexico and Central America, he wants us to show them “compassion.”

From Think Progress, Feb. 5, 2015

Pope Francis sent a personal letter to a group of Arizona teenagers in December, thanking them for assisting immigrants along America’s southern border and advocating for more humane immigration legislation.

‘“These young people, who have come to learn how to strive against the propagation of stereotypes, from people who only see in immigration a source of illegality, social conflict and violence,” Francis wrote, “can contribute much to show the world a church, without borders, as mother of all; a church that extends to the world the culture of solidarity and care for the people and families that are affected many times by heart-rending circumstances.””

AGREED. I believe Eisenhower called it "Operation Wetback".

As a result, President Dwight D. Eisenhower appointed Gen. Joseph Swing as INS Commissioner and charged him with fixing border control issues in order to stabilize labor negotiations with Mexico

But with IMPEACHMENT and POWER OF THE PURSE taken off the table by the REPUBS there is no way to stop the current resident of 1600 and law breaker in chief short of violence.

I would imagine that poor Catholics might be more welcome.

Francis was only concerned about the rule of law regarding asylum claimants in Italy. Regarding illegal immigration to the U.S., however, his instruction was to disregard law breaking.

In Italy, the issue is asylum claimants. In the U.S., the concern is illegals. As you observe, when asked to address illegal immigration to the U.S., Francis instructs us to:

"strive against the propagation of stereotypes, from people who only see in immigration a source of illegality, social conflict and violence”.

He should be paying attention the the shredding remains of his sex, ritual, and trinket infested Church, and the murders of tens of thousands of Christians around the world by the Islamos. His comments on immigration and global warming have been just absurd, as well as his "don't fight...don't war...don't call people names" doxy.

JESUS did NOT make his reputation or the ministry and church this "Pope" is "transforming", THIS way....

Wait--so the anti-Pope tells US we must welcome in every illegal, and make their "hard journey" easier. But Italy gets to apply the rule of law?

Jesus said: 'Why put me to the test, you hypocrites?" Are you listening, Francis, you fraud? Do you REALLY want to test The Christ?

I was discussing this post with my husband ( an hour ago) and he pointed out as you have done, that Frances is encouraging and applauding law breaking in our country.

I think that it was known that he was a South American Marxist and redistributionist. I also have the suspicion that he is a racist, because he identifies with the people of Mexican and Central America against “white” America. Otherwise, as you have shown, equated illegals with asylum claimants.

As someone in the Southwest who has dropped in on Catholic services where they have parish activities to protest the treatment of illegals at our courthouse, this really angers me.

Though shall not covet they neighbors goods, Pope Francis!
