Honestly do a lot of kids in inner city help themselves out? Some people might say well they live in a bad environment, say Chicago or LA. But how much can you do when your own people don’t do anything to better themselves.
Um have you heard what the pope has said and done. He had the Israeli and Palestinian leadership to pray for cease fire. He has prayed and even sent money to Africa. He has asked for peace in Iraq and throughout the world. I would look up some facts before you say the church just worries about South America.
No, not like the Nazi invasion of Poland. Is that the only kind of invasion there is?
Yes, that sounds like this could be an invasion.
So people hear say that democrats want this that and make republicans be out to be saviors. But you just said that republicans support employees who would rather pay lower wages to illegals. Your argument sounds confusing, especially for a catholic?
Do what our Federal Government is with the immigration problem, throw money at it.
Would you consider what the people who have left their countries in recent years due to war in Iraq, Syria, Palestinian to be invasion their neighbors when the people leave for their safety?
But our government does help our inner kids. Granted is the money number right. No it’s not, but the government does try to help. Some of these kids, white, black, Hispanics rather go out and be in gangs and sell drugs, and commit crimes.
You simply asked what an invasion is. There are plenty of online dictionaries and in fact, what has occurred can be called an invasion.
You seemingly want to say the definition of invasion is that of a country being invaded by a hostile force constituting a warlike action.
It is what it is.
But you have to see the reasons for why they are coming. These people are not coming to cause harm, they are leaving from harm.
It may be true in some cases, in the majority of cases it may well not be true.
A lot of people who are helping these kids will tell you, I’m here to help those who are here with good intentions. Those who come to cause problems, oh yeah send them back no questions asked.
That is a good way to put what is happening. It seems if someone is a Republican Catholic, and agrees with the Bishops and leaders of the Catholic church instead of Republicans it is very upsetting to some. Almost as if Republicanism is a higher authority than the Church. I have found more hostility because I choose to agree with our Catholic leaders. I am Republican but I am Catholic first.Amen. Any Catholic hostility towards these children seems to be fueled by the false notion that Catholicism is the same as, or even superseded by, Republicanism. I simply don’t understand it otherwise
A lot of what is said on the news in one sided. Depending on which channel you watch you can get that point of view. I have found a better way to get an idea of what is going on is to google Catholic immigration. Many places and websites come up, including the USCCB and have a lot of good information. Another good thing to do is google poverty in these countries. We recently had a priest come and speak at our parish about the poverty there and it is nothing like anything in America. We have running water and bathrooms in most all of the poorest here. There they have not running water and drink and bathe in the same water they urinate and more in. He told us how if he didn’t have food for children when he would come to their villages he would have to almost hide because it was so hard to see their hunger and tears. We don’t know this kind of desperation and poverty in America.
So you equate people put in slavery and brought against their will as an invasion. Alright then and just so we don’t lose context to the original conversation,
I fully agree with Cardinal George, we should protect these abandoned children but why wait until they get to the Border, some have perished on the way, some fall prey to the Coyotes and other unscrupulous criminals and save them from having to travel across the whole of the country of Mexico. Perhaps we should consider sending jets to Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. Find them there and then fly them back. That would save them from this hardship and would also keep them away from the general surge of undocumented persons at the border.
Well, I don’t know about the airplane part. Maybe?, but I agree we definitely should help them before they perish just trying to make that journey. I read an article that they are finding dead bodies in the Rio Grande River. A priest said recently to remember that just as Jesus is with each of us that he too is with each of those adults and children coming this way and he cares about each of them individually as he does us and how important it is to pray for them and do for them as we would do for Him.
No, I did not say “Republicans” – I said “Establishment-type Republicans.” There is a difference.
So it sounds like you are talking about totally open borders. And now you are speaking about adults too.
