Pope Francis Decries "Inhuman Conditions" Illegal Immigrants Face Crossing Into America

Article here.

Pope Francis has decried the "inhuman" conditions facing migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border and has encouraged communities there not to judge people by stereotypes but welcome migrants and work to end discrimination.

Francis made the appeal in a letter to a Jesuit priest who helps organize Catholic teens in Nogales, Arizona, to support the Kino Border Initiative, which advocates a more humane solution to migration. The letter was dated Dec. 19 but was made public on Kino's website recently.

"These young people – who have come to learn how to strive against the propagation of stereotypes, from people who only see in immigration a source of illegality, social conflict and violence – can contribute much to show the world a church without borders," Francis wrote.

Hey Francis, how about telling them all to stay home. You could even make it a papal order.

Let's sell some Vatican gold and precious art to ease their pain.

Tide Turns on Border Crossing
Number of Immigrants Arriving From Mexico Now Equaled by Those Going Home

Net migration from Mexico has plummeted to zero thanks to changing demographic and economic conditions on both sides of the border, a new study says, even as political battles over illegal immigration heat up and the issue heads to the U.S. Supreme Court.

After four decades that brought 12 million Mexican immigrants—more than half of them illegally—to the U.S., the curtain has come down on the biggest immigration wave in modern times.

"The net migration flow from Mexico to the United States has stopped and may have reversed," says the report, which is based on an analysis of U.S. and Mexican government data by the nonpartisan Pew Hispanic Center.

The standstill, according to the report, results from declining immigration from Mexico paired with a rising number of people returning south from the U.S. Those trends recently converged, and between 2005 and 2010 about as many Mexicans left the U.S. as flocked here.

I assume that he also would welcome and agree to provide welfare for anyone in Vatican City. You go in, refuse to leave and the pope will take care of you.

I will ask God to remove the desert.

There.

Welfare + Open Borders + Wall Street Richness = Mass Immigration

Don't get me wrong, there is a big problem with "Inhumane Conditions". Its called our Middle Class is dead, homeless, bankrupt, on the street, sick, guilty, brainwashed, and utterly destroyed. For anyone that really thinks the American Dream still exists, tell them to have a 5 minute conversation with the Ex Middle Class about crossing the border to find out what waits for them here.
