The Catholics I know well are Republicans and vote that way...or at least say they do.

With regard to feeling any commonality for illegals due to supposed discrimination. They aren't being discriminated against. They broke our law coming here. And while I have compassion for their plight as where they left is likely a $hithole, they are still lawbreakers/criminals.

My ancestors came over with the famine LEGALLY. My ancestors toiled in poverty and worked their way up from dirt poor and barely educated when they arrived to college educated including doctors, lawyers, engineers, in 5 generations. I am certain they experienced discrimination in housing and jobs but endeavored to make a better life.

Exactly. It is extremely offensive and hateful for people who equate folks who themselves came to this country or whose ancestors came into this country LEGALLY with the people who come by the millions IL-legally. That is the same as equating someone who goes into a store and buys a beer to someone who goes into a store and steals the beer without paying for it. They are two OPPOSITE things. But the media and the left fail to acknowledge this fact.


Trump will have to do for now. Hopefully we get a better candidate next time after Trump is done with his eight years in office.
