EL PASO - A group of volunteers with Catholic Charities of San Antonio left for El Paso Monday night to assist the Diocese of El Paso with the increase in asylum seekers released from detention facilities, as well as individuals with the migrant caravan.

Catholic Charities said 2,800 asylum seekers arrived in El Paso shelters over the last two weeks, with approximately 90 percent of them from Guatemala.

Antonio Fernandez, president and CEO of Catholic Charities of San Antonio, said he hopes the migrants, whose fates are uncertain, remember the smiles of the volunteers, whose core mission was to “give them love and dignity as a human being.”

This article is from last week. How did these 2,800 get through in Texas? Some were released from detention centers, why? What about the rest?

Catholic charities get paid $13K per head to resettle refugees. US taxpayer dollars is likely whom ultimately pays the fee.

WHEN will someone in power address these coyotes masquerading as charities?! Catholic, Muslim, Lutheran, whatever. It’s a complete fleecing of the taxpayers and a danger to our country.

From Remezcla.com 7 days ago... El Paso Restaurants Step Up to Help Feed Central American Asylum Seekers in Need...

The Central American immigrants traveling toward the United States ... shelters in El Paso, Texas and Las Cruces, New Mexico....The shelters have received as many as 2,100 people in one week, and many people in the area have reached out and provided clothing. To learn more of what these shelters need, email refugees@annunciationhouse.org.

Someone has been lying to us. If they are processing only ONE hundred per day (700 week) why are there three times that number - 2,100 in one week????

..... Well .... I think that ALL of these folks in the "Caravan" should now indefinitely officially become wards of the church in the country of Mexico ..... Doing this .... We may have actually found a viable solution to the migrant problem.

..... Heck ..... They ... (The Church) ... have the money and actually do seek to take care of them ...... So let's all, as a Nation, let them take care of them in Mexico .... Indefinitely ..... Forever ....

You can bet the farm that Catholic Charities will not mention, let alone preach, Romans 13 to any of the so-called refugees. The Charities do not want people to respect the laws of this country.

The Vatican can pay for it by returning all the silver they raided from Mexico.

Between the Sodomites destroying the church and these treasonous individuals who belong in JAIL, Catholicism has been sullied almost to death.

You’re right. Not sure about this story being the full story, except to further incite exasperation. We do need more information from Texas officials and DHS.

Kirstin Neilson (DHS) is weak on communication, as well as unenthusiastic for taking commiserate action to actually STOP this invasion. She will be gone if she fails on this breach.

So resisting Hitler would have been unbiblical?

It’s always Catholic Charities, Lutheran groups, or Jewish groups on this stuff. Every time.

So obeying the immigration laws of the USA is the same as not resisting Hitler?

My church has strayed very far from religion and has become a political activist socialistic force led by an avowed socialist and quasi Marxist if not a true Marxist. He is destroying my church, protects homosexual abuse by priests and hides the corruption in the Church of Cardinals and the Vatican Bank. He is the great destroyer of my church.

I miss Pope John Paul. John Paul was an iron man of integrity and belief.

Because Central Americans have been coming steadily since October. I have been posting about it. At first it was a trickle, then more and more. The famous “caravan” was organized by someone, and the media promoted it but the people coming was not new. The border was quiet then the groups began to arrive. I do think the so called caravan was to arrive to embarrass Rs before mid terms.

We really need to find out who is behind this. I am hoping this will backfire and lead to a wall.

Your question makes no sense. You cited Romans 12 as justification for obeying, in this case, immigration laws. Romans 12 says to obey the legal authorities as they get their authority from God. Hitler was a legal authority under then German law.

So resisting Hitler, or the laws of Nazi Germany, was unbiblical according to you.
