Catholic Church Plays Vital Role in Assisting Illegal Immigration

I have mentioned on here many times my frustration with religious groups interfering with the immigration policies of the USA because of their interpretation of WWJD. This article examines only one such group. The Lutherans, Baptists, and most of the rest have their hand in the pie too.

Catholics play vital role in helping migrants to U.S

NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico (Reuters) - At a Catholic-run shelter just across the border from Laredo, Texas, dozens of Latin American migrants say grace and tuck into a hearty meal of sausages, beans and rice, before trying to swim across the Rio Grande into the United States.

Weary migrants on their journey north often recharge their batteries at a network of similar shelters run by the Roman Catholic Church -- a lifeline sanctioned by the Vatican, despite increased U.S. efforts to keep out illegal immigrants.

"Migration is a human right and migrants are some of the world's most vulnerable people. It is the church's obligation to help them," said the Rev. Francisco Pellizzari, an Italian-Argentine missionary who runs the Nazareth migrant shelter in Nuevo Laredo.

Baloney!! Migration is NOT a human right; this is OUR country and we have the RIGHT to say who can come here and who cannot! I wish that a few million atheists would suddenly choose to migrate to Vatican City so that the Catholics could take their turn in the barrel.
