Louisiana governor cuts $1 million for Catholic Charities homeless shelter over serving migrants
NEWS



A Honduran man and his son, who had migrated to the U.S. without authorization and were recently released from detention, pass the time before beginning a bus journey to Louisiana at the Catholic Charities relief center in McAllen, Texas, April 6, 2018.

Gov. Jeff Landry, R-La., recently cut $1 million in state funding from Catholic Charities of Acadiana, accusing the Catholic Church's charitable arm of having a mission "to support the influx of illegal aliens into our country," a charge the Catholic ministry denied.

You shouldn't get money to conduct illegal activities. In fact you should be prosecuted.

Then destroy them.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

I wonder how much money is being shifted from stated goals of these charities to importing and facilitating illegals. My charitable giving has dried up, at least except for St. Jude's Hospital and Organizations benefiting Veterans and the USO.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
