The Current Immigration Problem

[jasJis]

It's must mean 'something' that intelligent discussion on the issue get's dropped while we argue whether or not we could go to jail feeding an illegal worker.

Jas,

Why do you always feel like we're "ruining the ship for a hapeth of tar". On the contrary the we just feel like the "ship has a small hole and we need to plug it". I like the ship, just needs a little repair.

[jasJis]

Oh. That's obvious.

[quote][b][font="Times"]Immigration Counterprotest Draws Millions to Job Sites[/font][/b]
In a grassroots counterprotest against yesterday’s nationwide rallies by illegal aliens, today millions of documented U.S. citizens took to their desks, factories, shops and other job sites to demonstrate their commitment to U.S. law and the American work ethic.

Police estimated that the crowds exceeded 220 million people, but they reported no incidents of violence.

Many workplaces flew the American flag, as usual, to express their ongoing devotion to the values and freedoms for which generations of U.S. troops have fought and died.

One unnamed American, a former Mexican who immigrated legally and became a U.S. citizen last year, said he joined the counter-demonstration because he admires the so-called “can-do attitude” he has found in his new home country.

The former-Mexican, who requested anonymity out of humility, said, “It’s as if Americans go to work every day and demonstrate ‘Si, se puede’ — ‘Yes, we can’.”

However, an organizer of yesterday’s illegal alien rallies said today’s counterprotests just highlight the weakness of the opposition to the new civil rights movement.

“It’s pathetic,” said the unnamed spokesman for Somos America (which, in a foreign language, means ‘We are America’).

“No chanting, no banners, no Latino music, no crowds blocking traffic,” she said, “Just millions of Americans quietly doing their jobs. All they do is work and vote. What kind of impact do they expect that to make?” [/quote]

it seems that there are more important issues at hand now for the Church in America... when many Catholics deny the Holy EUcharist and the efficacy and neccessity of the sacraments, i think the focus of the Bishops ought to be on these issues and not issues surrounding immigration...

[/quote]I heartily disagree. If the Church wants to 'prove' the Real Presence in the Eurcharist, then it better display the grace of moral behavior without biased and ignorant political games.

[dspen2005]

there is no need to prove... it just IS...

incidentally, the real presence is logical and rational
