Unfortunately, self-sufficient national and regional economies are about the last thing either of our parties would like to see.

A Catholic Republican Responds to Represenative Tancredo’s Pope and Catholic Bashing

And where have I mentioned Obama? Oh that is right, I mention Obama when I was concerned about his Church he attends.

You never cease to amaze me. We (America), or at least our government, (and not exclusively this regime) are largely responsible for the plight of many of these countries through business policies and foreign policies. We are indirectly responsible for putting many of the LAtin American regimes into power.

There is a reason so many people feel the necessity to immigrate. We are part of that reason.

Regardless, the CAtholic perspective is to share what we have with those who have less. They have less, and generally speaking are more than willing to work for their share. They just want to the freedom and opportunity to have a stable life.

They are our brothers and sisters and God’s sons and daughters. The Pope is very to challenge us to care for the body of Christ.

Is the solution to latin american poverty, move it to the USA? If it is, just come out and say it and stop demonizing everyone with whom you disagree.

You all seem to think Pope B was saying, let them (how many, 50 or 100 million?) come to the USA where the money is, and then force American taxpayers do the Church’s corporal works of mercy. Neither the Church nor the taxpayer get ‘graces’ for forced (Church = forcer; taxpayer = forcee) charity. PS: voting for Obama because he will raise taxes on the hated (charity) rich evil s.o.b.’s is not one of the corporal works of mercy, and does not offset his extermist abortion activities.

Now, does it make sense to you that some may view a worst-case secnario with 12-plus million undocumented, young disaffected, without ties as potential (1% is 120,000, almost as many as US troops in Iraq and four-times the number of troops in Afghanistan) acting as foot soldiers in a violent revolutionary army to be led by catholic socialist justice philsopher kings like here in vox nova?

And don’t bother wasting your click-clacking with your time honored “zenophobe!” ad hominen slurs. Go ahead, censor me again.

Were they not Catholics back in Mexico? That doesn’t make any sense.

He is now preparing himself for some silly radio talk show host job where no doubt he will again find out he is not all that.

As usual Tancredo is did not talk about all of Pope Benedicts statements on the complex issue of immigration

His” Extremeist John Tanton ” views was a threat to many things including conservativism.

I am counting the days when he is outta here
