Often, an addiction makes
someone see what is not really there. When Catholics look at illegal
aliens, they should see that many are not like the Italian, Polish, and Irish
Catholics who immigrated legally to the United States centuries
ago. The new immigrants are often from non-Western cultures and have
no interest in converting to Catholicism.
Likewise, many Mexicans who
come to the United States illegally have no intention of
assimilating or giving up their socialist beliefs for the
beliefs of the Catholic Church. Mexicans are not
Italians. The failed conversion of Mexico will not lead to a
successful conversion of Mexicans in the United States.
Add to that the differences in
culture and language the Church ought to respect, along with the destruction of
hospitals, neighborhoods, and schools that is the result of uncontrolled
immigration, and we have to wonder why the Church comes down on the side of
increased human suffering.
It is a mistake to think
that adding illegal Mexicans to the United States will help the Church gain
ground lost to the African-American inner-city invasions. Brad
Miner, writing in the Catholic Thing, points out the fallacy of
that reasoning.
And
the sourest point is this: for their 'outreach' to immigrants who have entered
the U.S. illegally, the bishops will get the same sort of thanks the
Church has been receiving from Catholics in those Central and South America
nations that are the wellspring of immigration: Gracias y adiós.
The cardinals ought not forget
the case of Elvira Arellano. She is a good example of what to expect
from those who want amnesty for illegal aliens. She used her young
son as a human shield and sought refuge in a Chicago church in an attempt to
stay in the United States and not be deported.
Elvira Arellano was a single
mother. The whereabouts of her husband were never
disclosed. Her main supporter was the Harvard-educated son of a
well-to-do family, the Rev. Walter (Slim) Coleman. A longtime
Democrat-supporter, Coleman is
an alleged communist and "a self-described community organizer."
Are these typical
representatives of the immigrant rights movement the ones Catholics should
support? These activists do not care about uniting broken
families. They care about uniting the workers of the world in a
revolution that always ends by attacking the Catholic Church.
