The Republican Party stands for certain business interests no matter what...<BR/><BR/>Catholic Reader: I have went and read the editorial you recommended and I have read some others. I do not think the entire Roman Catholic Church is for the illegal aliens; I do think that a lot of the higher ups in The Roman Catholic Church (especially in certain locations) are in favor of illegal aliens. Realize that MOST illegal aliens are Roman Catholics and so the Church will tend to support them.<BR/><BR/>I am sorry if this offends you; but, I still feel that it is true...<BR/><BR/>If you post some more links to additional editorials I will read them for sure and I may well change my opinion... I also would be HAPPY to make a post from you and include your links so other people reading this blog can form their own opinions!<BR/><BR/>If our elected officials grant amnesty to eleven million illegal aliens I really think that The Republicans will, and should, lose a lot of seats in 2006...LP Mike Sylvesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06918776704117318033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11887973.post-1143663050430191152006-03-29T15:10:00.000-05:002006-03-29T15:10:00.000-05:00The CS Monitor has a decent article.

Creating legal structures for migration protects not only those who migrate but also our nation, by giving the government the ability to better identify who is in the country as well as to control who enters it. <BR/><BR/>Only comprehensive reform of the immigration system, embodied in the principles of another bill in Congress, the proposed Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act, will help solve our current immigration crisis."<BR/><BR/>Yes, Catholic Charities serve both citizens and immigrants, but there's a big difference between helping people in need and supporting illegal immigration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11887973.post-1143650872076256042006-03-29T11:47:00.000-05:002006-03-29T11:47:00.000-05:00They're thinking that if the immigrants aren't leg...They're thinking that if the immigrants aren't legalized, they might actually have to take action against their business supporters who know full well they're hiring illegal aliens.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11424730556609713021noreply@blogger.com
