[quote=Anonymous]Adding:  I’m not sure that the evangical counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience (which apply to religious, but not to diocesan priests or deacons) in any way require a single-minded opposition to the entire current policy on immigration and border issues. There are people unlawfully present in the country who are terribly needy, sick, old, disabled, without relatives or resources. It seems inappropriate to drag them from their shelters and haul them off to near certain death. But there are people here unlawfully who are hardened, psychopathic, evil, ruthless criminals, with long histories of violent offenses before and after the unlawfully entered the country. Whatever duties charity may impose seem to extend far less toward them. For the persons in between, there is a tension between encouraging them to leave on one hand (and discouraging others from coming) and helping them assimilate into a decent life in the interim. Assimilation benefits everyone since a land filled with desperate “outsiders” is rarely at peace for anyone. [/quote]
