Editor's Note: My friend Dexter Duggan has a great column on Substack called Sunrise Sunset. He writes from Phonenix, AZ so his observations of the border crisis are particularly poignant, on target, and often heartbreaking. My own diocese recently celebrated in The Herald the resettling of 1200 illegals. I just shook my head. The same bishops who would tell us we were committing a sin by cheating on our outrageous and exorbitant income taxes are perfectly fine with illegals invading our country, stealing from the taxpayers, and overwhelming our schools and hospitals. Oh, and then there is the immoral cooperation with the drug cartels and coyotes who are flooding our cities with fentanyl, killing our children, and raping young women and hanging their panties on the rape trees which are common along the immigrant routes. (But not to worry, they would likely say since it's "remote" cooperation.) Thanks, Bishop Burbidge.
I met one of these young women when I worked at a pregnancy center in Manassas. She refused our help, so I'm afraid she had an abortion. How many other women raped along the route killed their children enabled by Catholic Church "resettlement programs." Since 2012, the U.S. Church has received $1.6 BILLION in grants from the feds. That is money extorted from the taxpayers. Catholic Charities is not a charity in the normal sense because most of their income is derived through robbery. At any rate...enough from me. Read Dexter's excellent column and I urge you to join his followers by subscribing on Substack.
A sea of Arizona sand is fine for illegal immigrants, but not a millionaire island off Massachusetts.
