The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration

Too many people talk around or ignore the dangers of illegal immigration.

1. Unvetted migrants.

2. Increase in crime.

3. Possible terrorists entering our country.

4. Forcibly changing demographics.

5. Cheap labor.

6. Lower wages.

7. Less jobs for Americans.

8. Increase in welfare expenses.

9. Drugs crossing the border.

10. 300 k Unaccounted for minors in our country

Now we look at who benefits.

1. Drug Cartels/ smugglers.

2. Corrupt politicians on both sides of the border.

3. Child and human traffickers.

4. Democrats condoning this and Republicans not stoping it.

5. Drug producers in Mexico.

6. Government funded NGO’s.

7. Foreign governments who want their jails emptied.

8. Companies wanting cheap labor.

9. The welfare state.

10 The deep state.

I could go on for hours but this will give you a Segway to finding information regarding this crisis and with a little research you can find out who really benefits. Our forefathers came here with no welfare state and no free anything from the taxpayers. They had to work hard and earn it or they went hungry, so the comparisons leftists make between now and then are not relevant.

We should not blame these immigrants for coming, what is happening is not their fault. it is the fault of politicians not enforcing our immigration laws for nefarious reasons.

Father Barron

Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus compares himself to a mother hen who longs to gather her chicks under her wing. As the theologian N.T. Wright points out, this is much more than a sentimental image. It refers to the gesture of a hen when fire is sweeping through the barn. In order to protect her chicks, she will sacrifice herself, gathering them under her wing and using her own body as a shield.

On the cross, Jesus used, as it were, his own sacrificed body as a shield, taking the full force of the world’s hatred and violence. He entered into close quarters with sin (because that’s where we sinners are found) and allowed the heat and fury of sin to overwhelm him, even as he protected us.

With this metaphor in mind, we can see, with special clarity, why the first Christians associated the crucified Jesus with the suffering servant of Isaiah. By enduring the pain of the cross, Jesus did indeed bear our sins; by his stripes we were indeed healed.
