Church can use its cash for this cause

You may call my remarks blasphemy. But if the Catholic church is so pro-illegal immigration and condoning criminals from deportation and exploiting children for their own personal gain like Elvira Arellano is, then let the Catholic church support and take care of them with their own money.

Let them sell off some of the property they own. Sell some of the gold and jewels they possess in Rome, or support them with the money they receive in collection plates in church on Sunday.

And keep their big mouths shut on how the rest of us tax payers should live our lives. I sent my son through 12 years of Catholic school, and if I did not give what the Catholic church thought was my fair share in the collection plate in church on Sunday an extra amount was added to my son's monthly tuition.

Sometimes I had to work overtime to meet these requirements. I ask: Will they do the same to the illegal immigrants they want to bring into this country? As far as I am concerned they are all a bunch of hypocrites from the top on down and should practice what they preach when it comes to illegal immigrants. God takes care of those who take care of themselves.
