Roger Mahony Quotes
The church also does not condone a broken immigration system in the U.S., one that too easily can lead to the exploitation, abuse and even death of immigrants.
Mahony, Roger. "Called by God to Help." The New York Times, 22 Mar. 2006, p. A25.
Reagan was the first President to admit that America was not in control of its own borders.
In many cases, one spouse is a citizen and the other is not; or the parents might be but not the children; of the children were born in the United States but the parents were not citizens and had no documentation. Under the broken immigration system then, the government would actually deport one family member. Sometimes it was the breadwinner and the legal wife and children would then be forced onto welfare, the taxpayers would have to pay for a family that was doing fine until the government intervened; worst, the children would be kept apart from their father who could not even visit them thereafter. It was the only circumstance in the American system where government would actually destroy families when “family friendliness” was the official policy.
