Roach Thu, 15 Jul 2010 15:42:22 +0000 http://www.bustedhalo.com/?p=10498#comment-9775 I appreciate hearing the remarks of the folk in the Busted Halo immigration series. It is always good to hear all perspectives. The problem is that there is no balance here. It is all one perspective--a highly emotional, sentimental and irrational perspective. You folks are well reminded that the Catholic Church also puts a great deal of stock in rational thought; and it also has a long history of achieving its mission inside the law of the land. Cardinal Mahoney errs when he says we do not have a system of laws that work concerning immigration. We do and we have since 1846. The question then is can we uphold that law without violating human rights. The answer is 'yes,' we can. We can require all immigrants to follow the law by coming here legally and working here legally. May we see something on this perspective in addition to what you folks purport here?
