re: Texas AG Paxton sues Catholic charity for aiding and encouraging illegal immigration

Do you think the Catholic Church is doing this because they are losing members and need to stuff their coffers again?

I tend to think the rationale is multifaceted.


I’m not Catholic … but a brief, online search shows The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) opposes “enforcement only" immigration policies ( United States Catholic Bishops). So there’s clearly a philosophical reason.


Also … Today, about two thirds of Catholic Charities’ annual spending comes from government sources (more than half a billion dollars of federal grants alone) ( Philanthropy Roundtable). The US Catholic Church is basically on fedgov’s payroll. I can’t think of any entity that stands to gain more from illegal immigration than a political party/Presidential administration that, via an unchecked border, adds more voters to their membership roster.

Every illegal who’s been interviewed about which Presidential candidate they support has given the same answer, and it ain’t a Republican.
