On the evening news a Catholic priest stated that "the law of God says there are no borders". That's fine with me. It is a definite separation of church and state. I'm all for that. If the Catholic church wants to finance illegal aliens, knock yourself out. Don't expect me, as a non-Catholic, to finance illegal aliens. I don't care where the come from or what jobs they do.

He wasn't just speaking his mind. He is a repesentative of the Catholic church and represents that church's ideals. Has nothing to do with respect. I just quoted what he said.

"illegal" mean breaking the law and it has nothing to do with religion.

Cardinal Mahoney is not only breaking the law by harboring illegal alien criminals but he has also harbored pervert priests! He has also lied to his parishioners and the cops! He should be in prison, along side the illegal aliens that are breaking our laws!
Illegal immigration has nothing to do with God. It is about the crimes of 20+ million people that should not be here!

I think God would want the world to be maintained by laws; if there were no laws, the world would not be able to handle such corruption. So the laws of immigration must be enforced for America to maintain order. Church & state should be kept seperate to a certain degree.

The Law of God isn't the law of the land. The law of the land is freedom of religion, which means we don't have to follow any given priest's interpretation of divine law. And, yes, there are borders. Sorry.

Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. America love it or leave it. Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. Leave it Now. Zero tolerance for immigration-law violators! No amnesty, no "stealth-amnesty." No "change of status," marriage fraud, "exceptional leave to remain," no "Temporary Protected Status." If you break the law, depart or be deported. Illegal aliens kill more US citizens each year than the war in Iraq has killed in four years. Apologists for illegal immigration like to paint it as a victimless crime. But in fact, illegal immigration causes substantial harm to American citizens and legal immigrants, particularly those in the most vulnerable sectors of our population--the poor, minorities, and children. Additionally, job competition by waves of illegal immigrants willing to work at substandard wages and working conditions depresses the wages of American workers, hitting hardest at minority workers and those without high school degrees. Illegal immigration also contributes to the dramatic population growth overwhelming communities across America--crowding school classrooms, consuming already limited affordable housing, and straining precious natural resources like water, energy, and forestland. Taxpayers are being forced to pay for the free health care, education, and other welfare programs being given to illegal aliens; Those tax dollars could be given back to U.S. taxpayers or used to keep our borders secure; They may be here illegally, but they sure know how to "work the system" to collect "free" medical care, "free" education, "free" food, Section 8 housing vouchers and other housing assistance, and hundreds of other social services. It costs citizens additional hundreds of billions of tax dollars at every level: local, state, and federal. It gobbles up billions of our charitable contributions. And much of that money ends up siphoned out of our economy and into offshore accounts. Illegal aliens, over half of whom work "under the table" with neither job nor income reported (nor taxed), are not counted as employed or unemployed. But some of those day-labor and off-the-books "job-lets" would be "real" jobs - available to American citizen job-seekers - if employment regulations were enforced. Illegal aliens can get away with tax evasion, et al., which citizens cannot. In short, we have too many workforce entrants and too few jobs created. The ratio works out to roughly 7-10 workforce entrants per job created. If all illegal aliens depart or are deported, all legal immigration halted, and all temporary employment visas abolished, we still have a problem with more US-born workforce entrants than new jobs created. Illegal immigration damages our country and our citizens every day at every level. And not even the attacks of 2/26 and 9/11 have awakened many Americans to the vast dangers illegal immigration poses to our selves, our families, our communities, our society, our values, our principles, our civilization. Zero Tolerance for Immigration-Law Violators! We must remember the lessons of 2/26, 9/11, and the costs we bear every single day. God Bless the U S A !

That's a little harsh of you. Show some respect to the man of the cloth. Even if you are not religious. Show some respect. He was just speaking his mind as you are now.
How much money have you contributed to the "illegal"? Just curious.

You bet, if we have no borders, that tells me, I don't have to pay taxes, just like they don't have to. No borders, no country to pay taxes to.
