The Frog Says, "Read the Bill! Then Secure the Border!"

Here's the first comment I read after viewing the video:

First off I am an American, I pay my taxes and I love my country, that being said if I had to specify a race I am Hispanic. I am not proud to be a "Mexican" I am proud to be an "American". I don't understand what is so hard about becoming a "Legal" Citizen. My great grandparents did it. Calling Arizonas new law "Racist" is a cop out.


P.S. I love the statement the video is making....

Arizona may be getting slammed, but ya gotta love their sense of humor. And be sure to visit the website and read the bill.

Another Bishop Demonizes Arizona's Law

Bishop Richard Garcia of Monterey came out with a statement about the Arizona law on illegal immigration saying, "We cannot condone such a state of terror." (For more go here.... For the full text of the bishop's remarks go here.... ) His inflammatory rhetoric adds little to the debate. He immediately conflates legal and illegal immigration by talking about us being a "nation of immigrants." That's true. We've had orderly immigration since our very beginning. What no nation can sustain, however, is the disorderly invasion by foreigners who do not assimilate and continue to think of themselves as citizens of their native land. The Roman Empire fell because of internal corruption and the barbarian invasions. Will that happen here?

As a commenter on the post declared, "The Arizona law mirrors federal law. Are the bishops going to go after Barack Husein Obama to repeal the federal law? Don't hold your breath. If you are an American in Mexico you need papers. How is it unjust to ask the same of foreign nationals in the United States?I plan on vacationing in Arizona this summer, it's a beautiful state." Good points.

The Church should look at its own organizing structure. She requires people to present papers for many reasons. If you want to be married in the Church, have a baby baptized, receive First Communion, etc. you need to prove you are a Catholic and present your official documents. You can't just storm into the rectory office and demand to be treated like a registered parishioner. You often need to prove you are a Catholic in good standing.

The hysterical attack on Arizona is unjust and imprudent. The bishops should spend a little time asking Mexico to create a just system where people can make a living wage instead of a corruption-ridden two tier system of rich and poor with almost no middle class. Then their people won't have to invade another country to get jobs.

Not to worry, though. Illegal immigration will end when the United States is as corrupt and two-tiered as third world countries with rich politicians and their cronies at the top, the wage slaves at the bottom, and no middle class. With Barack Obama in the White House that day may be coming sooner than we think.

If Security Doesn't Matter Why Do Pastors Lock Our Churches?

I had a conversation with a priest friend today about the immigration law in Arizona that has been under attack by many bishops in the U.S. and by the liberal establishment. Father hit the nail on the head when he said, "I would like to leave the church in my parish open all night, but for reasons of security I can't."

Doesn't that say it all? So here's the question for those bishops criticizing Arizona for trying to "secure the door." Do you leave the doors to the churches open all night or do you lock them? Do you leave your bishop's house open or do you bolt it? Is your chancery open and welcoming to all comers? (Hey, we know the USCCB building is locked and has a screener at the entrance as does the chancery of the Diocese of Arlington.) So, bishops, if you lock out those who would invade your house or office or churches, and screen the "immigrants" who come to the chancery to make sure they are "legally" there for business, how can you criticize the state of Arizona for trying to secure their borders and protect their citizens from invasion?

Hmmm?

Illegal Immigration: It's no laughing matter, Mr. President!

Oh the lunacy of liberals on illegal immigration!

Arizona Immigration Law Identical to Federal Laws Requiring Alien Documentation, Says Attorney

And guess what. The Arizona governor's approval rating jumped 16% after signing the law. President Obama should take note. Read the article here.

But let's face it. We're living in a madhouse where illegals often have more rights than citizens, certainly more than the ranchers on the border being murdered by the drug cartels as they move their drug trains across the border and dare anyone to stop them.

And then there's the case of the kids sent home from school yesterday for wearing t-shirts with the American flag. They were being insensitive and inflammatory for daring to show their patriotism on cinco de mayo. This nonsense will make you laugh til you cry.

And for all those folks who think supporting amnesty for illegals is the Catholic position, think again. Fr. Michael Orsi has written an excellent article on the real Catholic teaching. A country has a right to control immigration and ensure for the protection of its own citizens and the orderly assimilation of immigrants.

Roger Cardinal Mahony is REALLY Upset about Arizona's Immigration Law

Cardinal Mahony is really, really upset about the Arizona law. The man who managed to stay calm, cool, and collected (and covering up) over the rape and sex abuse of children is a bleeding heart for those who sneak across our borders illegally. Mahony is outraged over the new law in Arizona which has as its objective the protection of Arizona citizens from murderous thurgs operating drug cartels and other illegals invading the country. He calls the law "the country's most retrogressive, mean-spirited, and useless anti-immigrant law." (Yikes!)He's also accused the state of "reverting to German Nazi and Russian Communist techniques whereby people are required to turn one another in to the authorities on any suspicion of documentation."

Wow! Don't we wish he had shown the same concern for the children of his diocese instead of intimidating parents and using diocesan lawyers (and money from the faithful) to protect himself and avoid facing the music?

George Will takes the Cardinal to task in an excellent column titled When Indignation Trumps Information. It's well worth reading. As for Cardinal Mahony - somebody give him a Prozac
