Almost like a broken record.
A ... federal judge has struck down the Trump administration’s suspension of immigrant visas for foreign nationals of 75 countries, handing immigration activists another victory against President Trump’s effort to slam the brakes on mass immigration.
And once again, a law passed more than 60 years ago — the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, better known as the Hart-Celler Act — is a specter still haunting America’s broken immigration system.
At the heart of the case is the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. (CLINIC), a “religious” organization that has gotten into the legalized human trafficking racket....
CLINIC is a subsidiary of the USCCB, and we all know that the Catholic Bishops have facilitated human (and drug, and sex-trafficking) through the border since before Trump 1.
This particular case, however, boils down to welfare-sucking.
...“Vargas ruled the policy was reviewable under the APA because it was final agency action: it imposed mandatory instructions requiring consular officers to refuse visas and had immediate legal consequences, even though individual officers implemented those refusals.”
Here is what the legacy media is not highlighting about this huge case: It has to do with the extraordinary numbers of immigrants who are on public welfare....
How much public welfare?
Currently, the United States has 59 percent of non-citizen households and 53 percent of immigrant households on public welfare. That’s according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2024 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP)....
Bishops will tell us that the Church mandates charity to the stranger. But the Church's own Catechism has conditions:
CCC #2241: “The more prosperous nations are obliged, to the extent they are able, to welcome the foreigner in search of the security and the means of livelihood which he cannot find in his country of origin.”
Oh.
"...to the extent they are able...." Hmmmm.
Further note--this is important--that the immigrant "cannot find" a "means of livelihood" in their home country.
The US Bishops would do well to examine closely their "immigration assistance" operations (found all over the USA) to make certain that 1) the immigrants ARE obeying the laws of the US (also a part of the Catechism's teaching) and 2) that the (LEGAL) immigrants find jobs so that they are not public liabilities.
Reminding the Bishops that the Government's first responsibility is seeing to the welfare of its own citizens may help.
Cutting off donations to the "Annual Appeal" will also be helpful.
These Tax Sucker communists make me sick.
ReplyDeleteDo the bishops ever take into consideration that we have a national debt of $40 trillion
“we all know that the Catholic Bishops have facilitated human (and drug, and sex-trafficking) through the border since before Trump 1.”
ReplyDeleteStraight up gas lighting. Sickening.
No. Straight-up truth.
ReplyDeleteThe Bishops KNEW that these people would become ILLEGAL immigrants on arrival. The Bishops KNEW that the immigrants were being shepherded by the cartels. The Bishops KNEW that the cartels were trafficking labor and sex with the immigrants. The Bishops TOLD the immigrants how to get to the USA; they PROVIDED ASSISTANCE during the journey AND promised food, housing, and relocation assistance when the immigrants arrived.
That last is significant; if the Bishops had said "We will not help you at all if you get here" lots of immigrants would have stayed home. Worse: due to the Bishops' actions and words, many of the immigrants died on the journey or were gang-raped.
That means the Bishops (and their flunkies in USCC/Catholic Relief) are morally on the hook here. If I were them, I'd be very concerned about my meetup with St Peter at the gates.
The bishops are doing God’s work. Their souls are saved. You? Not sure.
DeleteEvidently God is in my combox, assuring us that the souls of the Bishops are saved.
ReplyDeleteFYI, like St Paul, I am in fear and trembling working out my salvation.
