Thousands of poor Mexicans risk their lives each year sneaking across the 2,000-mile (3,200-km) border to seek jobs.

And thousands more seek freebies.

The cardinal is entitled to his opinion, but I do notice that the Vatican has walls intended, presumably, to keep the uninvited out.

We don't see them sneaking into the church and stealing from their coffers.
Their walls seem to be working.

I wonder how long you or I would be allowed to wander around inside the Vatican unmolested, and when caught, how much consideration would be given to our demands to be recognised as Bishops of the Holy See.

It's inhuman, I tell you.

The key probably is freebies. End the free health care, charge them for services, and many will come back home here to Mexico. But if you ARE going to do freebies, then build a wall. It won't stop them, but it WILL make someone feel good.

Bravo. I am Catholic but I couldn't agree with you more.
