The bishops need to go an address Mexico's Congress and urge them to provide the people jobs so they won't continue to burden the hospitals,economy,jails,ect,here.

Yet from Mr. Young's comments and many others coming out of the USCCB, I would think that every US Bishop is in favor of violating the federal laws that Arizona is crying out to be enforced.

The bishops do not promote breaking the law, and they certainly condemn human trafficking. The bishops are merely saying that the people who are here need to be dealt with humanely. The bishops argue that, with comprehensive immigration reform, fewer people will resort to crossing illegally, thereby Don Clemmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16862175999956713906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470781729941761069.post-68078012352235174312010-07-29T14:42:53.543-04:002010-07-29T14:42:53.543-04:00I do not understand how a single federal judge'...I do not understand how a single federal judge's ruling "knocking down" upholding the law is something to praise or "hail."<br /><br />More than anything that disturbs me is representatives of the Church in the United States praising and advocating for violating laws that are just.
