Bishop, when a thief breaks into your house he is not always looking for food or compassion...

I agree.....build the fence/wall first and then we’ll talk and be fair to the ILLEGALS....the LEGAL immigrants will be handld first.
“breathe new life into our parish communities”
No they take from it by using up services. Does he really think illegals give to the church? They are sending cash back to Mexico by the bundles and not providing any spiritual input.
It’s nice to see Bishops having the cojones to speak out on political issues, good or bad.
Christ said, “It’s better to pluck out your eye than to be cast into Hell”. So therefore I hardly think immigration would something Christ would care about, Father Goofusbutt. Quit hiding behind Jesus and mop your own floor!

Yes the legal immigrants we welcome as fellow American citizens.
In the debate about illegal immigration, the fact that America is the most generous country in the world in terms of LEGAL immigration is never discussed. Instead of getting any credit for the amount of legal immigration that we allow, and the number of refugees we have taken in from various hell holes of the world, we are instead castigated for wanting to do anything about ILLEGAL immigration.
Nothing being discussed would change our system of LEGAL immigration. But the politically correct crowd doesn’t care. It’s shameful.
This guy is definitely not sounding very sympathetic to the idea that we might well need more Hindus with doctorates, and Pakistani engineers.
look...it’s the Christian thing to do...take care of the needy and the poor....that is the CHURCH’s business....
Yet another who fails to make a distinction between legal and illegal immigrants. (I suspect the bishop is referring to the latter group).
By all means, let us "recognize Christ" in them.
....and then deport 'em en masse.
Fine. Let the churches in Mexico take care of Mexico's needy and poor.
Come on.
What’s wrong with what dfwgator said? Those being discussed here are in our country ILLEGALLY! We have no responsibility to take care of them other than making sure that they arrive safely in their home country.
ENFORCE THE LAWS! SECURE THE BORDERS!
"We gringos!"
As for recognizing Christ in them, Christ isn't in all of them. For those who are true believers, why are they breaking our laws?
I can go along with the pray for all involved statement. That's it.
Whom are you asking the mod to ban? Sounds like #5 is on your side.
BTW, you might want to not draw attention to yourself with the mods if you resort to namecalling. LOL.
Never. It's Catholic Guilt at its finest. Remember that we obtained our land, homes, and medical services by stealing them from Native Americans, so turnabout is fair play. ;)
