ALL Funds to churches should be halted. That's why we are supposed to have separation of Church and state.

America . . . we pay for our long-term suicide. Thank you, Catholic Church for helping us down that road.

If your Catholic priest is singing the virtues of illegal alien “kids” in America, it’s for good venal reason: the Catholic Church is getting at least $14 million from the U.S. government to help illegal alien “youths” stay in America for life. Cha-ching!

The Catholic Church in America has long been a proponent of illegal aliens, as it has been at the forefront of far-left “liberation theology” (something that faux-conservative Glenn Beck also espouses along with the illegal alien “kids”). And it pays off to purport to care about the poor illegals: it makes you rich! The U.S. government announced it will give the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Catholic Charities, and the Catholic Legal Immigration Network millions to pay for legal help for the illegal alien kiddies to stay here. But, don’t worry, these Catholic “charities” will take their cut.

Yes, you pay for the lawyers for illegal alien “youths” to fight the other lawyers you pay for (in the U.S. government) who are purporting to fight to deport them. And in the process you get to fund a church that you might not even be a member of. Only in America. I can just hear the imams bumming out that they, too, didn’t get in on the action.

The Obama Administration Santa Clauses are handing out the dough. And don’t forget that the Bush Administration Willy Wonkas lobbied for and signed the law that gave the golden ticket of entry to these illegal alien kids and made it nearly impossible to deport them. (Congress unanimously passed that law.) So, remind me again how Republicans and Democrats are different? They both screw us.

The Obama Administration announced Tuesday that it will pick up the bill for immigration attorneys who will be assigned to unaccompanied children from Central America and elsewhere who are stopped at the U.S. border. . . . The program starts today and will be funded with $14 million over the next two years.
