The Pope and The President Determining Illegal Entry Solutions!?!

So once again the VALUE of America is being devalued in a media event outside the Country – while the face may say child or Pope , the question is will the one person who is required to uphold the Constitution based on taking an oath, will that pers

The ability for people from every Nation of the world to come to America and worship is an inherent right shared by Americans AND EVEN NON-citizens via the Constitution which forbids the establishment of a State Religion or prohibiting the free exercise of Religion.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances”

YET a calculated effort, based out of Los Angeles, by a half dozen people to undermine our laws and Constitution is underway.  Even more egregious is the use of a child to manipulate the media for attention via a carefully orchestrated event timed before a meeting between the Pope and our American President (who took an Oath to Uphold the Constitution).

So we have a child asking the Pope to ask the President to let her father stay in America. Except he broke the law …ignored the process to come to America …then he broke the law again while driving.

Neither the child, the parent,  or anyone involved with this media event is being thwarted from exercising their Constitutional protection to practice religion. No one is being harmed for being a Catholic or a Christian or any faith while in America illegally or legally. So why is the Pope being used to intervene in the situation?  Because Catechism “2241” directs them to?

"The more prosperous nations are obliged, to the extent they are able, to welcome the foreigner in search of the security and the means of livelihood which he cannot find in his country of origin. Public authorities should see to it that the natural right is respected that places a guest under the protection of those who receive him" 

Think about these items:

1.        Currently the County of Los Angeles is undergoing a challenge from the ubiquitous ACLU over the return of the historically and geographically accurate depiction of a Cross on the County Seal.  The mantra “separation of Church and State” is once again chanted.    BUT NOT WHEN A CHILD IS ENLISTED TO DIRECT THE TOPIC OF A MEETING WITH THE POPE AND THE US PRESIDENT!!!???

2.       Those who dislike labelling people “illegals”  or “illegal aliens” etc are correct.  The correct description of the crime and persons are “PEOPLE WHO ENTERED THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY”.  The humanity of each individual is kept intact while not ignoring their illegal act.  And if the press, if the legislators, if you had always called the situation as “people who entered the Country illegally” there would have NEVER been the elevated antagonism directed at “them”. 

3.       Somehow people who enter the USA without any commitment of time to stay or criteria to be able to support themselves or proof of good health are now incited by corrupt politicians to conclude they have a right to Citizenship….over and before anyone else.  All by virtue of the fact they have managed to stay under the wire for 1 -20 years.  They merely crossed one of our borders by foot, roadway, or air travel and then were incited to assert their own legality via their children who are born here.   

4.       The problem of illegal entry   should have been fixed  years ago

·  AFTER the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act which gave approximately 2.8 million people, who had illegally entered the country, amnesty

·  Or after 1 million Central Americans who entered the US illegally were given amnesty in 1997

· Or after  125,000 Haitians who entered the US illegally were given amnesty in 1998.

5.     There are an estimated half million illegal entries into the United States each year, with estimates as high as 18 million in total.  LOOKING FROM THE OUTSIDE ONE MIGHT SAY HISTORICALLY THAT IS EQUIVALENT TO A TROJAN HORSE!  But in reality it is a formula

 ·  for anchor votes  based on solutions

·   to add programs…

·   to increase the size of government to accommodate a guessed statistic, a statistic which in reality may be overinflated or unverified

·   to put additional unplanned, un-forecasted,  unbudgeted  burden on education ..on health and welfare services…on city services…    

·   to divide a Nation

·   to dilute the labor force

 

6.     If you were in charge of a parking structure, entertainment venue, hospital, or restaurant, and then you permit more people inside than would properly accommodate the purpose of the facility what would happen?   Compromise of safety, service, accommodation, cost of maintenance, etc These are the factors which would govern the normal productive flow and number of people at any-given time allowed entry.  This is why Fire-Marshalls govern the safety of public facilities and the maximum occupancy.  

So why is it so hard to understand a limit on the flow of people ENTERING our country.  Health, financial burden, jobs vs unemployable, education, health and welfare, etc.   Suddenly those who are here already by virtue of birth or naturalization or native ORIGINAL heritage are having their hopes and dreams and efforts devalued. 

7.     It is not to say we want to closely hold onto our wealth and not share – clearly our reputation for generosity both individually and through our government during many international disasters, civil turmoil, medical necessities, and guaranteeing loans, surely this must give some credence to the fact we are not a selfish Nation.

BUT we can only continue to offer all these aforementioned both Nationally and individually if we have something to give…if it is not devalued.  

So once again the VALUE of America is being devalued in a media event  outside the Country – while the face may say child or Pope , the question is will the one person who is required to uphold the Constitution based on taking an oath, will that person use a pen and phone to over power the process and responsibilities of the Legislators AND the best interests of today’s citizen and all future citizens.
