Isn't it un-Christians for a government to encourage its citizens to immigrate illegally and consume tax $$$?

YES! Not only UNchristian,but hypocritical as well! Mexico is encouraging these illegals to break into another country, lie, steal, cheat, whatever it takes to benefit MEXICO! They don't give a crap how many people or WHO it hurts, as long as illegals keep on sending those billions of U.S. dollars, south of the border!

The Popes encourage overpopulation , the Church harbors illegals and has been involved with Marxist movements in Central America in the past.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooo

No, the unchristian thing to do is judge and punish. Only in the eyes of god can any person be judged.

do you listen to yourself?
what immigration has to do with religion???

He is affraid to be called Nazi? Well, you should read a little more and get informed.

Do you know how the Nazis escaped from Europe to Argentina?
Guess you gave them their new passports...
Yes, your lovely, " in the name of God" Vatican!!!!

And if you still don't get it, immigration is a problem between two (or more) countries., not a religious problem.

The Bible tells you to follow the laws of the land so actually it DOES say against illegal immigration, yet they focus soley on the "humantarian" idea. We aren't saying all Mexicans have to stay out just we want them to come in legally or don't come in.

Religion & rhetoric somehow doesn't go hand in hand in my book.

I think the church sees this law as wrong....Much like they see abortion as a bad law too....The church follows a higher law, and that is God's law....Did you know that when Jesus was a baby his parents took him and fled to Egypt illegally to avoid being killed by King Herod? Man's laws are NOT God's laws....

Most Mexicans are Catholic

Mexico is not a theocracy. Also, whoever suggested that the Catholic Church has had deals with Marxists is also incorrect. Pope John Paul II was strongly opposed to communism, to the point that the KGB saw him as a threat and had a role in the assassination attempt.

you're mixing apples and oranges here. The US constitution does not mix religion with politics, so you can't either as it doesn't make sense if you mix them. Restate your question and I'll be happy to answer it.

How can you possibly see this through a Christian prism?
I suppose you could make a case for a Christian to be bound to help an poor man to at least get a job. Or certainly to be fed. Or even to change immigration laws so the aliens could become legal and contribute to the tax basis. Isn't Christianity more about caring than worrying about tax money. Didn't Christ say that we were to treat the least among us as we would treat him? I really wonder what kind of Christian it is that is more concerned with their "tax $$$" than the well being of one of Gods creatures.

He possibly has already been called that. The government in Mexico is not a very good government and No where does it say in the Bible that you cannot illegally immigrate to another country. So, umm I think that they want a better life, but they are certainly doing it the wrong way. So, I can't say if it is un- Christian.

ditto

Mexico doesn't know how to obey laws, let alone the 10 Commandments!

Kathie Emmanuelite

Actually I have heard that the Mexican Government and the Catholic Church don't get along with each other so it's no problem for the government to encourage and promote illegal immigration.

The Catholic Church has been full of so many scandals I don't if they know wrong from right or have just inverted their own recipe for life

Interesting that you should mention religion, because way back there in the history books in the time of the US/Mexico war, the Catholic church BACKED Mexico financially against the United States...

Being Christian is not like being Muslim or Hindu. A country is not Christian. People are Christians. A country may be founded upon Christian beliefs, but becoming a Christian is an individual response. Too, any where there is a separation of church and state, there is no state religion. Therefore such a country cannot be identified by a religious description. For example, the USA has a separation of church and state so it cannot be called a Christian state, an Islamic state, or another religious state.

I thought the Catholic church in Mexico was outlawed years ago, ( or extremely limited with respect to the priesthood and schools and such ). Anyone with real Mexico / church history knowledge out there ?
PS: Immigration to the US is a major source of $$ revenue for Mexico as billions are sent home by the workers and is responsible for the huge rise in the Mexican middle class.
