I believe you have stated that you are Catholic, so it would follow that you are not some anti-papist conspiracy nut. People who read your post need to know that.

There is genuinely a problem with people who confuse a hand out with compassion concerning immigration and ultimately our economy. Not to mention that it is a cynical ploy to fill evacuated pews, contribute to the coffers, and have the numbers to meddle in Ceaser's affairs rather than rendering to God his due in his own domain.

There has always been corruption in Mexico and there will always be. One Mexican woman told me that's why so many people come here. We can't do anything about Latin American corruption, it's not our fault and ultimately it's not our problem - except that inadvertently Mexican corruption is brought here with unregulated numbers. Unfortunately, it's a part of the culture even to those who are oppressed by it.

We, as a nation, are responsible for the creation of the cartels with drug money. Until we clean up our act, or at least somehow circumvent the profit angle of the drug trade, there will always be someone to profit from the drug trade and there will be violence and killings over illicit profit. The drug war, as it is being played out in Mexico, is a hypocritical farce.

The "communists" and the useful idiot far left loons they manipulate and otherwise exploit pose as friends of the people until they achieve power. Then their reign becomes just one more in long lists of despotic tyrannies. Open borders and "compassion" is a tool to gain power. As soon as they gain power watch them clamp the border down in order to maintain control.

It is interesting to remember one open borders advocate, who shamelessly exploits illegal labor of his own ancestral "ethnicity", recalling that when he was in college he was a communist, but when he started his own business he swiftly became a running dog capitalist. The far left loudly complains about exploitation and unjust governance, but just wait and see what happens when they take over and skipper the boat.

It would be much cheaper and much better for our country that instead of putting the mass ingress on a plane to be dumped at a bus depot in Arizona that they put on flights to their home countries - let them clog up the airports at home. It would be like a turn around at the border, except that it involves aircraft.

However, none of the solutions to the problems discussed in this thread will happen until there is a meaningful change in congress and the executive branch of our federal government.

And you all out there know exactly what needs to be done to facilitate that change.
