Catholic Organizations and Open Borders

It is troubling that these Catholic organizations receive funds from taxpaying citizens and at the same time advocate ideas that will harm citizens.

The Catholic Charities USA’s website, which looks like it’s run by liberal activists, offers services such as Citizenship Application, DACA Application, DACA Renewal, Deportation Defense for Green Card Holders, Deportation Defense for Non-Lawful Permanent Residents, etc.

The Catholic Charities USA isn’t the only Catholic group to advocate open borders.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) also criticized President Trump’s executive orders relating to immigration and capital punishment, claiming it would harm “the most vulnerable among us.”

U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) president Archbishop Timothy Broglio wrote the following:

“Some provisions contained in the executive orders, such as those focused on the treatment of immigrants and refugees, foreign aid, expansion of the death penalty, and the environment, are deeply troubling and will have negative consequences, many of which will harm the most vulnerable among us.”

Bishop Mark J. Seitz (USCCB), Sr. Mary Haddad, RSM (CHA), and Kerry Alys Robinson (CCUSA) issued a statement that “Human Dignity is Not Dependent on a Person’s Citizenship or Immigration Status”

This group has also received taxpayer funds.

According to audited financial statements reviewed by America magazine, the bishops group received around $122.6 million in 2022 and about $129.6 million in 2023 for refugee-related services.

The NY Post revealed the organization’s Migration and Refugee Services department is responsible for resettling approximately 18% of the refugees who enter the U.S. each year.

So what do we make of this?

These religious groups either don’t entirely comprehend the magnitude of the issue or they lack empathy for citizens who suffer when illegal aliens flood their precincts. 

When illegal aliens were bussed by GOP governors to wealthy neighborhoods, they were eventually rejected. Even New York City, which is a sanctuary jurisdiction, began rejecting migrants after the numbers were overwhelming.

All the burden of illegal aliens is placed on poor or working-class neighborhoods. Consequently, illegal aliens end up consuming resources funded by taxpaying citizens. This could be an emergency hospital ward at a hospital or real estate meant for free movement such as pavements or parks, etc.

There is also the question of jobs. Illegal aliens often agree to work for little money and no benefits. The result is citizens either suffer job loss or a depression in wages.

When illegal aliens inundate any neighborhood and outnumber the citizens, the culture is diluted.

This demographic change has other consequences. If numerous aliens are granted voting rights, the impact of the votes of citizens is reduced. This is what has occurred in NY and California, where a potted plant with the letter D can defeat the most capable Republican.

The victims in all these cases will be working-class people. A country, a state, a city, or a county is a finite unit with finite resources that are planned based on the number of citizens living in that locality. If the population suffers a sudden surge, citizens suffer.

The other risks of an open border are human trafficking and the smuggling of dangerous and illicit drugs.

Yet these religious organizations seem to have no compassion for the working-class individuals, the trafficked victims, or those who suffer from drug addiction or who perish due to overdoses.

The religious organizations are suggesting that these illegal aliens are poor and helpless and come to the U.S. because they have no choice. But this could be also true for other varieties of lawbreakers. Some lawbreakers are from poor neighborhoods and broken families. A country has laws and there must be no leniency for violation of these laws. If one starts making exceptions, else there will be utter chaos.

Sadly, the members of these Catholic organizations didn’t show a similar focus on punishing pedophile priests within their organization and protecting innocent young victims.

It would be wrong to assume that these Catholic groups are going rogue by advocating open borders. Early last week, Pope Francis attacked President Trump’s plan to deport illegal aliens calling it a “disgrace.”

But the Vatican City where the Pope lives is surrounded by imposing walls, is restricted only to citizens and only invitees are allowed to stay overnight. There were also reports of the Vatican cracking down on illegal entries.

These groups don’t practice what they preach.

This is a reminder of how far religious institutions have departed from their core values and have been infiltrated by sinister forces.

It is troubling that these organizations receive funds from taxpaying citizens and at the same time advocate ideas that will harm citizens.

The Trump administration must look into either reforming or defunding these organizations.
