President Trump’s recent proclamation addressing the mostly Central American migrants marching toward the U.S. border contravenes U.S. laws on immigration, declared a statement posted on the U.S. bishops website Wednesday.

“On November 9, 2018, President Trump issued a proclamation barring people arriving to the U.S./Mexico border from receiving U.S. asylum unless they request it at a U.S. port of entry, a direct contradiction of existing U.S. asylum law (see here),” reads the statement on the Bishops’ website, signed by Bishop Joe Vásquez, Chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on Migration, along with officials from Catholic Charities USA, Catholic Legal Immigration Network, and Catholic Relief Services.

Maybe if they worried more about religion and life after death so they wouldn't have such a huge decline in the Catholic religion.

Maybe if they worried more about religion and life after death so they wouldn't have such a huge decline in the Catholic religion.

What the Bishops are trying to address here is the declining revenue of the Catholic Church, they know that most of these illegal immigrants are of the Catholic faith and that if they get in to America they will tap into the wallets of the American taxpayers, greatly increasing their monetary value to Mother Church. It's all about the Saint Benjamins

This One           not this one

Well I wouldn't have expected the Catholic bishops to say anything else.   You can't get much more progressive than those assclowns in the Mitre hats.

Tax the Church!

If they want to get involved in politics, then they are a political organization.

These groups are upset that they can't get their hands on all the underage illegals and "mentor" them.

Unless these immigrants are Mexicans, they have no case for political asylum.
