Immigration reform next up on bishops' wish list for Congress

Immigration reform is the next priority for the Catholic church. I hope it helps. - - Donna Poisl

By Nancy Frazier O'Brien, Catholic News Service

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- A new postcard campaign in 2010 will urge Congress to take up as its next priority comprehensive immigration reform that would reunite families, regularize the status of an estimated 12 million people in this country illegally and restore due process protections for immigrants.

"We want to increase Catholic grass-roots support for immigration reform, but we also want to show members of Congress a strong Catholic voice and strong Catholic numbers in support of immigration reform," said Antonio Cube, national manager of the U.S. bishops' Justice for Immigrants project, in a Nov. 16 conference call with reporters.

Donna the only help needed is called Deportation!
Here in Luzerne County we have a large population of disabled veterans & elderly which depend on the pitiful yearly COLA increase. Just here we have on Social Security: Retired workers benefit recipients 48,770 elderly retired living here + 38,067 Veterans, 11,000 of which returned home here to this small corrupt county from Vietnam. We are American tax payers which built this area, and we no longer have the safe & quiet comfort of our homes which we worked our whole lives to achieve The property tax reassessment county wide during this recession recently raised mortgages & rent at least $100 a month. Pa. lost the price cap on electricity, minimum $35 dollars a month increase only if you do not have any electric heat. Sewer & water both another hefty increase following the 2009 increase of $80 dollars, soon another minimum of $40 dollars a month. Millions have been stolen here, a few hundred thousand here, five hundred thousand there, embezzlement, and missing sewer authority funds. The only ones doing fine here are the Clans of high school drop out illegal border jumpers, nine to 12 adults in one house all still working 16 hours a day. It is costing me a $137 more a month just from the tax reassessment to view the Clan living in the rental property next door. Even though the FBI busted our Court house all the low income older homeowners must pay again, and pay so much more just to keep their family home. Many of us have nothing left but our blood, and those of us who use VA healthcare can not even sell our blood because no one in their right mind would want to buy it. As a house bound Catholic disabled veteran with a Clan of illegal border jumper’s right next door I ask why just a few million Veterans are made to live in H E LL while our government helps 23 million illegal border jumper swine.

P S - Don't think for one minute that just because we have a black dude as our new president that it is illegal or racist too deport them all. And do not tell me it is a hate crime to hate watching so much of our Country, and the old neighborhoods we still reside and pay taxes in be destroyed!
