The Catholic Archdiocese of St. Louis is suing ICE because they are denying priests access to those requesting sacraments in detention. That’s Missouri, by the way. Not Laredo, Texas, or southernmost California. Before we go on, I would like to add that I believe in law. I don’t believe that deportation is, of itself, wrong. But if I wouldn’t deny sacraments to a condemned prisoner in his or her last moments, what sense does it make to treat an illegal alien worse than a murderer?
People seriously would rather be “conservative” (or liberal) than Christian, it seems. This whole focus on immigration itself seems wildly disproportionate, and certain federal officials seem intent on dehumanizing anyone who doesn’t serve their ends.
Unless the Mississippi River is beset by hundreds of barges full of illegal aliens who embarked off New Orleans, it’s not obvious why ICE operates a detention facility in rural Missouri anyway, but I digress.
I remain much more sympathetic to anti-Islamic immigration, for reasons of history and “culture” such as it is, than I am to banning and deporting Mexicans and Central Americans. You might as well ask me to deport my grandmother. I’m not Hispanic, but so what?
And if you’re worried about criminal gangs, then say that. It’s only tangentially about immigration at that point, anyway.
I have said before that I don’t care about being ethnically replaced. I’ve got mixed race nieces and nephews; I have one from Bulgaria, for Pete’s sake. “White” doesn’t actually exist; the only reason Black does exist is because someone forced Africans here, and they stayed. Plus, Kenan Thompson ripping on us white people will never not be funny.
