U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops: DACA Cancellation "Reprehensible"

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops slammed as "reprehensible" President Trump's decision to "wind down" the program that protects immigrants brought to the country illegally as children, charging that the uncertainty as Congress is left to forge a consensus "causes unnecessary fear for DACA youth and their families."
Some 800,000 beneficiaries are covered under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. "While new applications for work permits will not be accepted, all existing work permits will be honored until their date of expiration up to two full years from today," President Trump said in a statement issued by the White House an hour after Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the end of DACA. "Furthermore, applications already in the pipeline will be processed, as will renewal applications for those facing near-term expiration."
"This is a gradual process, not a sudden phase out. Permits will not begin to expire for another six months, and will remain active for up to 24 months. Thus, in effect, I am not going to just cut DACA off, but rather provide a window of opportunity for Congress to finally act."
A joint statement from USCCB President Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, USCCB Vice President Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles, Chairman of the Committee on Migration Bishop Joe S. Vásquez of Austin, and Bishop Joseph J. Tyson of Yakima, chairman of the Subcommittee on Pastoral Care of Migrants, Refugees, and Travelers, said that "the Catholic Church has long watched with pride and admiration as DACA youth live out their daily lives with hope and a determination to flourish and contribute to society: continuing to work and provide for their families, continuing to serve in the military, and continuing to receive an education."

Why do we allow churches who openly inject themselves into politics to retain their tax-exempt status?

Fortunately they're in the religious business and not political!

Has nothing to do with tax-exempt status.

Over/Under how many Dems/Libs that have hated any and all things Christianity or organized religion in general (Well, except Islam) start trotting this kind of stuff out as a backbone for their argument to keep DACA?

Well you want to tax churches for espousing politics, which in turn you say that should make them taxable, no?

Having a political opinion is not the same as injecting yourself into politics.
If they think revoking DACA is reprehensible from a moral perscpective, fine, they're entitled to their opinion. It's also worth being aware however that being faith leader does not make a priest informed on this country's civic procedures. They can be disappointed from a moral perspective and simultaneously completely ignorant from a political perspective.

They need to keep their own house clean with some major dirt needing removal before casting aspersions on others and speaking to things that are reprehensible...besides, I think the Bible clearly states to follow man's laws as long as they are not in direct violation of God's laws.

If a church tells you who to vote for, they will lose their tax exempt status.

Surely Vatican City will accept all 800,000 DACA recipients to live there. To deny them would be "reprehensible."

This should never come as a surprise.
Mexico is a predominately Catholic country. The United States is not.
Therefore, you can always expect the Vatican to favor the interests of Mexicans over the interests of the United States.
The United States is not a high priority for the Vatican. Not compared to the Catholic Third World.
