Action Alert
Over the past weekend, and scheduled for the Next several Weekends, the Roman Catholic church will be giving Homily Sermon messages encouraging their parishoners to lobby for increased immigration. This comes at the expense of unemployed Americans. You can read an article from VDARE about it here. After that, whether you are Catholic or not, you can contact the closest Roman Catholic bishops and the following key bishops with the message that follows their contact information:

Honorable Bishop,
I am asking you to make a public statement against S.744 and any “pathway to citizenship”.
This bill will allow 33 million new immigrants over the next decade.
The 33 million green cards offered by S. 744 in the first decade would go to:
• around 11 million for illegal aliens (could be millions more if the official estimate is wrong)
• around 11 million in continuation of elevated flows from 1990 surge policy
• around 5 million from end of numerical limits on people waiting in line (mostly chain migration)
• around 6 million from new and expanded categories
On the other hand,
Nearly every section of the Gang Amnesty bill seems to add more foreign workers to compete with unemployed and underemployed Americans. The Gang apparently believes that the way to help the 20 million Americans who can't find a full-time job is to give out another 20-30 million lifetime work permits to foreign citizens over the next decade.
This bill would further flood labor markets at the lower-skill levels where real wages have declined 10% to 22% since 1980.
If the bill becomes law, the chances of Americans with no more than a high school education entering the middle class may disappear.
But it isn't just the low-end where Americans are threatened. The bill would make huge increases in importing higher-educated workers at a time when around half of all recent American college graduates either have no job at all or they aren't working in a degree job.
The under-32 Millennial Generation already is in danger of being a lost generation. After this bill, we may see these young adults spend the rest of their lives only partly engaged in the economy as they depend on government and family.
None of this is the kind of economy or society most Americans desire. Surely a compassionate and thoughtful citizenry will put a stop to this nonsense and ask its Representatives to go back to work putting Americans back to work.
In appreciation of your consideration,

***BUMPED & UPDATED*** Catholic bishops spend $3.5 million of anti-poverty funds to increase poverty among American workers
A very interesting post from www.NumberUSA.com about U.S. Catholic bishops increasing poverty among America's poor. This follows this post about the Senate trying to increase the amount of immigrants during this slow economy. This follows this post about the release of illegal alien criminals from jails. This follows this post about how to Report Illegal Immigrants! For more about what is happening in the nation now click here and you can read two very interesting books HERE.
Catholic bishops spend $3.5 million of anti-poverty funds to increase poverty among American workers
Blogger's Note: You can contact these four bishops about this.
NY: Timothy Dolan http://www.archny.org/news-events/media-contact/
Philadelphia: Charles Chaput http://archphila.org/contact.php
Phoenix: Thomas Olmstead http://www.diocesephoenix.org/contact.php
Los Angeles: Jose Gomez http://www.la-archdiocese.org/Pages/Help/Contact.aspx
You can also contact the closest diocese to you here
and let them all know what you feel whether you are Roman Catholic or not!

I have no doubt that America's Catholic bishops are nice people and that they mean well. But their callous indifference to America's unemployed and low-wage workers is astounding when it comes to their lobbying on immigration policy.
The Washington Post reports that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is going to expend another $800,000 of its anti-poverty funds to help pass a bill that will add millions more foreign workers to compete for scarce U.S. jobs.
The bishops’ anti-poverty program in the past year has invested more than $3.5 million in grass-roots immigration reform.
The organization of U.S. Catholic bishops said it would make $800,000 in grants available for projects aimed at mobilizing regular Catholics to push for the bishops’ immigration platform.
-- Washington Post, March 5, 2013
Wow. Not only are the bishops taking more than $4 million away from anti-poverty efforts in little more than a year, but they are investing it in a policy that will further depress wages in the occupations where the extra foreign workers will compete. And those occupations are disproportionately ones where the American workers in them already are making poverty or near-poverty wages.
Fortunately, our own polling has long found that most Catholics in the pews reject the bishops' priority of helping corporations gain more visas for foreign workers and of helping foreign citizens who have broken our immigration laws.
The Post seems to lament the fact, noting:
A recent Pew poll showed just 32 percent of churchgoing Catholics had heard about immigration issues at church. Among Catholics overall, just 7 percent said religion was the main force in shaping their immigration views.
That suggests that most priests are not as blind to the needs of their working-class parishioners as are the bishops, and that the priests refuse to preach the glories of a loose labor market.
About the 7% figure, I don't take the result to mean that Catholics' immigration views are uninformed by moral concerns. It may just mean that they use a moral compass that is stronger and different from the open-borders pronouncements of their bishops.
OK, my comments are harsh. I don't believe at all that the bishops WANT to help employers make more money on the backs of workers drawing lower wages. I don't believe the bishops WANT the gigantic economic underclass of Black and Hispanic Americans to grow. I don't believe the bishops THINK that loose labor markets that encourage greater and greater income disparity in our society are a moral good.
Really, I don't believe the Catholic bishops think those things at all -- even though those are the logical results of their preferred immigration policies.
But it doesn't seem like the bishops even THINK about the possibility of the results of their actions because they have made an idol out of immigration and a fetish out of concern for immigration lawbreakers as their priority concern. And they have allowed that to blind them to the pain and suffering of this country's most vulnerable citizens.
I can sort of understand how the bishops can make a mercy case for the 11 million illegal aliens. But I can't understand at all why they are spending anti-poverty funds to insisting on adding millions more new immigrant workers while 20 million Americans can't find a full-time job.
We should always remember that all these religious leaders who are demanding an amnesty for illegal aliens are also demanding a "comprehensive immigration reform" package that includes huge increases in future immigrant workers.
Would somebody explain to me what the bishops' argument is for increasing foreign workers in the future? If they were willing to care as much about poor Americans as they do about illegal aliens, the bishops would at least be demanding that the amnesty include large cuts in future green cards and worker visas? Why don't they?
Really, I would like to know because I have to believe that this nation's Catholic bishops are good people who mean well.
