    Pope: Western countries must welcome immigrants

    WESTERN COUNTRIES MUST WELCOME IMMIGRANTS, POPE SAYS

    (ANSA) - Vatican City, May 28 - Pope Benedict XVI on Friday urged Western countries to welcome immigrants, stressing that that integration enriches societies.

    It was the umpteenth appeal by the 83-year-old pontiff for laws to promote and foster immigration and integration.

    Addressing the plenary session of the Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People, the pope said laws must favour " reception and integration, allowing opportunities for legal entry, favouring the just right to family reunification, asylum and refuge, compensating necessary restrictive measures and combating the scourge of human trafficking".

    He suggested that countries and international organisations cooperate "in various ways" to ensure "the recognition of the rights of the person and the principle of national sovereignty, with specific reference to the demands of security, public order and border control".

    The future of our societies rests on relations between peoples, seen as a "dialogue between cultures that respects the identity of legitimate differences," he said.

    Speaking in April, the pope appealed to the international community to make concerted efforts to deal with immigration issues.

    The German pontiff said a solution to the problems posed by the influx of illegal migrants must be found through "perseverance and persistency and with measures decided on an international level".

    In an address to the Vatican's World Congress on Migrants in November, he stressed that migration be seen as an opportunity rather than a problem.

    Benedict said migration was ''a bigger issue than ever before, both in terms of size and complexity''.

    ''Many migrants leave their countries to escape living conditions that are humanly unacceptable but without finding the welcome they hope for elsewhere''.

    I wonder if the good Pope can find the passage in the Bible that says one must obey the laws of the land.

    Its both an opportunity rather than a problem??
    he is wrong about that, an opportunity for those who wish to leave home and find work, but its also a problem for whatever country they go to,. break laws and commit crimes

    Sorry Popester...

    You and your band of pedophiles will not get us to destroy our constitution, our culture, and our national sovereignty by allowing racist/nationalist mexico to invade and conquer us.

    That Border was put there for a LONG time ago. It Was Not put there to PROTECT mexico and the mexican people from the U S. On the contrary, That Border was put there to protect us from Mexico. As our Immigration laws are also meant to protect us.

    I Refuse to lower our defenses to hostile foreign nationals...

    The Catholic Church has already freely admitted that they consider "browns" to be the future of the church.

    It's all about buts in the seats and bucks in the plates.

    Ask Nancy if she still wants to murder fetuses and botched abortion newborns, while you two BFF work things out, okay Pope?

    Get back to me.

    p.s. Enforce our laws. Both immigration and sex abuse of children.

    One more thing. Anyways to stipulate taxpayer funded welfare for illegals doesn't end up in the collection plate? We could have some unemployeed ACORN census workers keep track. Their good at cooking the books, right Bertha?

    This country gives more opportunity for legal immigration than just about any other country in the world, so the Pope must not be referring to the US.

    Yeah, POPE Benedict XVI, we welcome immigrants, but not illegal aliens. Kind of like France, Italy and the rest of the European countries feel. Why don't you stick to taking care of the Catholic Church and stay the hell out of our politics.
