Ludicrous. Does it require the priest to say "Say 10 Hail Mary's and 5 Our Father's and show me your birth certificate"?
I was at mass a while back and during the sermon the visiting priest asked us all to support amnesty. I asked my (ex) lady at the time what the hell this speech has to do with a Mass service? She agreed (one of the few times I was "right" about something in her eyes, lol).
Our bishops need to learn quickly that social justice and democrat politics damage the church far more than anything else has done. Save the social justice for charity and volunteer work (as I do), not liberal legislation.
Prior to 1917 and the great conservative Woodrow Wilson, there were no immigration restrictions.
There also wasn’t any welfare. Why are conservatives arguing in favor of quotas and against the elimination of welfare benefits?
As for Amnesty, I agree with you that it would be the wrong thing to do without serious overhaul of the entitlement structure. If the spending were cut completely, and the only people who came were capable of supporting themselves and working, then I wouldn’t have a problem with them coming to America.
The problem is that too many ride the gravy train.
