Bishops Throwing Another $800K Behind Amnesty Fight

Via Matthew

 

Apparently, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is rolling in dough. It's giving $800,000 more to propaganda efforts "aimed at mobilizing regular Catholics to push for the bishops' immigration platforms", i.e., mass legalization and open borders.

That comes on top of the $3.5 million the group has already spent to promote mass amnesty. For some wacky reason, this political money gets labeled "antipoverty" activity. That's really bizarre. And it flies in the face of the facts.


Our current legal immigration system hands out visas to an original immigrant's adult brothers and sisters, grown kids, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. — on no basis whatsoever beyond their being related, even distantly — and without regard whatsoever to their education level, skills, talents, resources, etc. This chain migration contributes to the importation of poverty, not poverty's alleviation.

Illegal aliens are likely to be even poorer and less educated and less skilled. Their legalization further boosts the poor population, because then former illegals can sponsor their relatives for visas — again, based solely on familial ties.

  1. I think it was a couple of years ago that Fred Reed from "Fred on Everything" commented that the US was pretty much winding up with Mexicans who couldn't cut it in Mexico. And being unable to compete there they migrated north to feed off the anglos. I also suspect that the Mexican government encourages that in order to prevent rebellion in Mexico.

  2. These Bishops are the liberal wing in the church and also the same group that has be protecting the sexual predators. That 800,000 should be spent on charitable works among the Mexicans rather than importing them here so the taxpayers are stuck with the bill. Perhaps they never learned that taxes are taken at the point of force. That is not charity.
