Friends, Catholic social teaching holds two things together: a nation has the right, and the duty, to regulate its borders, and every migrant is a person of incomparable dignity who deserves generosity.
In January, amid the tensions in Minnesota, I proposed that enforcement focus on those who have committed serious crimes. Last year, together with my brother bishops of Minnesota, I called on Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform. What the President described Sunday in his 60 Minutes interview about immigration is very much in that spirit.
The President now proposes working with Democrats toward a solution that involves a properly regulated border, the deportation of people who have committed serious crimes, and a generous approach toward those who have been non-violent and have contributed to the economy. He even admitted that the enforcement of his immigration policy has been too tough.
That is the balance the Church’s teaching points toward. We have waited years for a solution to this thorny problem. I would strongly encourage leaders in both parties to take advantage of this extraordinary opportunity.
@scotfasco@RealEJAntoni We have turned our government into a popularity contest. Neither side has a reason to cut spending just to have the other come in and gobble the savings up.

One thing people need to understand politically about Georgia, is that there is Atlanta and then there is Georgia. Atlanta elected Keisha Lance Bottoms governor, not Georgia. Atlanta may be geographically southern, but politically, it may as well be L.A. or New York. It's that liberal a city. As an Atlanta native, I can say that, politically speaking, Atlanta is one of the most ethnically divisive (racist) cities in America. If the candidate is black and Democrat, it's a given that Atlanta voters, the majority of whom are black, will support that candidate, and primarily for those reasons alone (black and Democrat). Bottoms' horrid record as mayor Atlanta didn't matter to them. In the end, all that mattered was her melanin. And unless Republicans can find a candidate who can crack that "black code," Georgia will remain blue for many years to come.
Don't worry, President Trump is not going to harm gay people, bring back slavery or strip women of their rights...
But there is a religion you voted into office that will...
