Francis Goes Into A Panic Over Trump's Border Reinforcement

Francis has now removed any shred of doubt that he is part and parcel of what Archbishop Vigano and others have dubbed as the "deep church".  He has issued a letter to the United States bishops that orders them to help illegal immigrants flout United States immigration laws.  Here it is - straight from the Vatican's website.

So let's take a look at this thing.  Right off the bat, we see Francis trotting out that tired old fantasy about the Holy Family immigrating to Egypt.  There are two major facts that Francis conveniently omits.  First, they were immigrating nowhere.  Both Egypt and Israel were subsumed into the Roman Empire.  Differences in local customs aside, they were not foreigners.  Second, the Holy Family broke no laws as a result of their travels.

Then in section 4 he states, "The rightly formed conscience cannot fail to make a critical judgment and express its disagreement with any measure that tacitly or explicitly identifies the illegal status of some migrants with criminality.   "  That is sheer, utter nonsense.  Criminality is determined by the commission of illegal actions.  In the eyes of Francis, if law enforcement cannot determine illegal status, perhaps they shouldn't be allowed to determine if someone is a victim of human trafficking.  If Francis really believes that, he must have flunked out of his moral theology class in seminary.  I'd like to go on, but I haven't the time.

If Francis really thinks he should exhort nations to dissolved their own national borders, why does he not lead by example?  He could easily order that the walls around Vatican City be dismantled and allow all sorts of folks to gallop into St Peter's Square and even the living quarters there.  If he's still staying in that hotel, then the papal apartments should be available for immigrant use, right?  Perhaps he should read Matthew 23:4.

It is plain to see that Francis is in a panic.  He, and most likely his handlers, understand that their hold is slipping.  They are seeing in Trump and other good people - traditional Catholics among them - threats to their schemes to bring about a new world order that is under their heels.  This is a lash-out.  However, it will lend to those US bishops, who are also part of the "deep church", moral credibility to pursue their clarion cry for open borders.  I wonder how loud that will be, though, seeing that Catholic Charities funds may soon be drying up?   Case in point - Detroit is getting a new archbishop (and so soon after DC got a new one!  But I digress!)  His name is Edward Weisenburger, a bishop hailing from Arizona.  He's starting off with a bang, suggesting that those Catholics who enforce our immigration laws be subject to "canonical penalties" and even excommunication.

Hmmm!  Funds drying up!  Might we have stumbled upon another motivator for this obvious papal temper tantrum?  Speaking of funds, give the chanceries not one penny of your funds.  The Sixth Precept of the Church does not mean rewarding those who advocate that our national borders and immigration laws be trashed with impugnity.

Why We Should Read Laws That Are Passed!

To the left-wing, progressive types:  OK, boys and girls!  We know you like things that are all huggy-kissy, touchy-feely.  So Governor Brewer of Arizona has so kindly decided to help you understand the importance of reading with this cute little video!  We know that the Hell Bill was a bit too much to read (and thus a bit too much to pass, but we've already discussed that before, now haven't we?) but this law is very simple.  Now watch the video and learn the importance of reading.  (Click here if you can't see embedded videos)



I truly hope the progressive population enjoys a basic modicum of literacy.

Now that we all understand the importance of reading, here's the link to Arizona's S.B. 1070.
READ IT!

USCCB Jumps on Arizona-Bashing Bandwagon

On April 22, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed into law a bill that would make it a state crime to be in the United States illegally and would allow state enforcement officials to verify that individuals are in this country legally.  I for one congratulate Governor Brewer for her courage and dedication to duty. 

Of course, the progressives have their knickers in a knot over this - probably because their main ammunition for voter fraud is going to be reduced.  The Messiah Most Miserable, beneficiary of ACORN-esque voter fraud (remember that?) calls the law "misguided".  He disregards the Tenth Amendment, which does acknowledge the states' rights to police their own territories.  However, not too much of the Constitution resonates with him, so no surprise here.

However, a number of Republicans are jumping on the nay-saying bandwagon.  I understand Mike Huckabee disapproves of this.  As far as I'm concerned, this disqualifies Huckabee as a potential presdiential candidate, as I would want a president who would secure our borders.  Jeb Bush also frowns upon this; truth be told, Jeb's once-rising star plopped into the trash after he basically sucked his thumb during the murder of Terri Schiavo.

But guess who else has jumped onto the progressive bandwagon here?  Guess who else cries out to their progressive funders "Me, too!  Me, too!" and slams Arizona?  The USCCB!   Surprise!  Read that ridiculous statement.  They oppose the "criminalization of undocumented immigrants".  Don't you just love that language manipulation?  Ladies and gentlemen, if they don't have "documents", it means that they didn't go through the steps to acquire those "documents".  Hence they are breaking laws.  What do we call "lawbreakers"?  (Liberals, please sit down for this, lest you fall into a swoon!)  They are criminals!   Yes!  Criminality is defined by behavior.  Boys and girls, if one acts like a criminal, they are a criminal!  Understand?

Of course the USCCB and most of the progressives are snorting about something called "comprehensive immigration reform".   Talk, talk, talk!   Meanwhile, drug cartels come onto US territory with impugnity, ranchers are found murdered on their own property, etc.  It sounds like Governor Brewer is taking that bull by the horn!  Good for her!  Let more follow Arizona's example!
