U.S. bishops will speak out ‘loudly’ if Trump’s mass deportation rhetoric becomes reality

[Michie]

The U.S. bishops are taking a wait-and-see approach to what President-elect Donald Trump does with his campaign promise to carry out mass deportation of immigrants who are in the country illegally.

But the bishops say they are prepared to speak out forcefully if Trump does advance the controversial proposal in a way that undermines human dignity.

That was the message delivered by leadership of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) on the first public day of their fall assembly, held in Baltimore on Nov. 12, one week after Election Day.

Could it be the Bishops get a lot of money through Catholic Charities to process illegal immigration.

I’m sure that’s a possibility.

the bishops say they are prepared to speak out forcefully if Trump does advance the controversial proposal in a way that undermines human dignity.

I fail to see how it can undermine human dignity if the illegals are rounded up, placed aboard airplanes or ships, returned to their points of origin, and left there. Nobody is abusing them; they're simply being sent home.

“We are waiting to see just what exactly takes shape,” said Bishop Mark Seitz, head of the USCCB migration committee, who spoke to members of the media alongside USCCB president Archbishop Timothy Broglio and Bishop Michael Burbidge, chairman of the USCCB’s pro-life committee.

If the Trump administration moves forward in a way that violates basic human rights, Seitz said the bishops are prepared to “raise our voice loudly.”

Do tell? I wonder---how many illegal migrants have Mssrs. Broglio, Seitz, and Burbidge, et al, taken into their episcopal mansions to feed and care for personally?

Could it possibly be......**NONE**???
