This past month, my Brazilian friend and I and other law-abiding Catholics--citizens and legal residents--have been reiterating to our Catholic priests that Joseph and Mary were NOT immigrants, they were travelling to their ANCESTRAL home of Judea to be COUNTED in a LEGAL CENSUS decreed by the Roman Emperor Augustus. There is NO connection between Joseph and Mary and immigrants, we pointed out, and surely NO connection with ILLEGAL aliens since Joseph and Mary were LAW-abiders, the illegals are NOT!
