Mexican Catholic Church calls US immigration policies an 'act of terror'

February 27, 2017



The Archdiocese of Mexico called President Donald Trump’s immigration measures "migrant terrorism" and said Mexican officials’ reaction is lukewarm and submissive.

In an editorial posted Sunday on “Desde la Fe’” [From the Faith], a weekly publication, the Archdiocese said the new policies amount to “not only the application of an inhuman legalism but a true act of terror.”

“Our undocumented brothers are afraid, their children suffer a real psychosis, while the Mexican authorities are not able to act, they only make statements and promises; their reactions are lukewarm, they also show fear, and worse, submission,” the article read.

“They are still waiting for the U.S. president to come to his senses, when he has demonstrated, since he was a candidate, that his method is precisely being unreasonable.”

The editorial also criticized Enrique Peña Nieto’s government for not providing enough funds (“crumbs”) to attend what it called “a humanitarian emergency.”

“We do not see firmness in the defense of our sovereignty; we do not see dignity in dealing with our northern neighbor; we do not see effective strategies to help our compatriots; we do not see ability or intelligence in those responsible for dealing with this humanitarian crisis,” the editorial read.

The new policies are President Trump’s latest efforts to follow through on campaign promises to strictly enforce immigration laws and build a wall along the border.

Millions of Mexicans living in the U.S. could be targeted for deportation, including people simply arrested for traffic violations.

The Trump administration memos replace narrower guidance focusing on immigrants who have been convicted of serious crimes, are considered threats to national security or are recent border crossers.

BOO HOO...GO GET MONEY FROM THE PRESIDENT OF MEXICO TO TAKE CARE OF THEM!

CHURCHES ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW...SHAME ON YOU FOR AIDING IN THE HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND LYING TO COME TO OUR COUNTRY.

A leaked DHS report stated illegal immigration is costing us over a $100 billion a year in federal, state, local costs.

I don't doubt that figure is true

Then there is the costs that can't be counted in dollars.

The fact monies for education, healthcare, etc., that should go to American children are being diverted to children of illegals.

I can't imagine how many illegals or children of illegals are going to college on our dime.

How about the harm to our communities with all the crime, etc. Also, the fact people have had to move to try to find employment because illegals have taken over.

The fact our government has allowed this law breaking - even encouraged it - makes all other laws less absolute.

It is beginning to make American citizenship meaningless.

When did we decide a crime is not a crime? Why isn't just being here enough of a crime?

Of course, when they come, they don't just stand on the border. They drive without licenses and insurance. The cause our insurance to escalate.

They work and don't pay taxes.

They use our welfare system.

They use fake ID. I can't understand why states don't DO something.

Let's have some DL checks. If you have a fake ID - you and your car goes to the pokey.

There are many laws that could be used.

We really need to understand and really let ourselves admit, our government (with possible exception of Pres. Trump) has no desire to fix this problem. It could be fought on a state, city, or county level. We have to admit our officials do not work for us - they just don't.
