CHICAGO ARGUS

Intelligent commentary by Gregory Tejeda on issues related to politics, crime, sports and other aspects of life -- both domestic and foreign -- as perceived from Chicago.


Catholic church takes moral side on immigration, so the nativists are upset
Saturday, March 21, 2009

We’re going to get a bizarre sight in Chicago on Saturday, and quite possibly one in Joliet as well.

Federal officials who are pushing for reform of the nation’s immigration laws to something more realistic and appreciative of the fact that these newcomers make a significant contribution to the nation have been holding rallies across the nation – billing it as a tour, of sorts, for immigration reform.

THAT TOUR IS now in Chicago. Catholic churches on the North Side and in Joliet will be the site of events in which people will speak out in favor of federal policies that do not deliberately split families up.

The event in Chicago proper will be at Our Lady of Mercy Church, and Cardinal Francis George himself will take it upon himself to speak out on the matter. His aides told the Chicago Tribune that the Cardinal will ask for “compassionate, comprehensive immigration reform.â€
