The two main categories are legal immigrants and illegal aliens. Those that believe in the Rule of Law and lawbreakers.
Cardinal, with all due respect we are a nation of laws.
Mahoney should be in PRISON, as a protector of known pedophiles.
Enough said.
You have GOT to be kidding me.
Why doesn’t he go to Mexico and open missions to help the Mexicans?
Stop right there, Cardinal. I'm all for immigration, and I suspect that most people are, too. I'm against ILLEGAL immigration. There are tens of thousands of people who file their paperwork and wait in line - like the law says that they should - who would be disenfranchised if the government pardons these people who clearly are in violation of current federal law.
The government has a moral and legal obligation to protect the due process rights of the people who didn't immigrate and cross our borders illegal. It's not "anti-immigration", in fact it's very PRO-IMMIGRATION.
Illegals bring nothing good to this country, and they cause all sorts of other problems. I would think that Jesus would teach that people should do their best to improve their own lot rather than forcefully impose the responsibility of their well-being onto other people.
Cardinal Mahony speaks for me about the same as the Presbyterian signatories of "IOWA: 167 Iowa faith leaders back same-gender 'marriage'" speak for you.
Then maybe the United States should send troops to Mexico to secure their country from all of these drug cartels and murderers. Rather than allow them all to just come over the border illegally is nonsense!
Help them to be proud of their country. Doesn’t seem that their country is helping them at all. Why is it us that always has to help?
Boy, this issue is infuriating! They probably never should have called it illegal immigration and called it exactly what it was. Invaders - we are being invaded from all over the world.
“Do you think drug dealers and cartels are shipping their goods with families, with strollers and...”
And fake pregnant bellies? Yes. Yes, they are, you moron.
It’s sooo nice to hear a man speak with great moral authority and attention to God’s will. On the other hand there is Mahony’s Baloney.
This illegal immigrant problem is a government problem and needs to be resolved by government.
Ah stuff it, cardinal.
I don’t care about their stories.
I care about my country.
Uhhhh, that's exactly who they use Cardinal. You really think they are going to trust a heavily tatooed, bald, intimidating looking gang banger with a long criminal history to smuggle a hundred thousand dollars worth of cocaine into the country? Might as well put a big "search me - I'm a drug mule" sign on him too.
The Pope should post this big shot to Mexico City. See how well his theology flies down there.
This is a prime example why our founding fathers wanted a separation of church and state.
Sic semper episcopus.
