Bishops urge more compassion for illegal immigrants

PHOENIX Arizona's Catholic bishops say politicians ought to make America's immigration policies more compassionate toward illegal immigrants.

The bishops prepared a "pastoral letter" that calls for major changes in the country's immigration laws.

It asks Arizona's Catholics to follow the church's tradition of embracing newcomers.

The letter also rejects the notion that illegal immigrants aren't welcome in Arizona.

The church leaders wrote that America has a right to control its borders and that they weren't condoning illegal immigration.

The bishops do say illegal immigrants make a valuable contribution to the country.

Does the phrase seperation of church and state mean anything to these people?

I don't know about those people but I'm beginning to see that separation of Church and State have NO MEANING TO OUR GOVERNMENT. AND, THAT is a HUGE problem for me.

No kidding Bootsie, but what to you expect when you have a sitting president who's main rationale for going to war with Iraq was because supposedly God told him to?

OH GOD, dman!! WHY did you have to remind me????? I can still see him walking around in a circle during an interview with SOMEONE and they were asking him if he asked and took his father's advice about Iraq. And, he just looks up in the sky and says he has another father that he asks for advice! I was REALLY scared then. REALLY, REALLY SCARED.
I'm TRYING to forget this incident, dman!!!!!!
