[QUOTE="steelfingers, post: 4207978, member: 38658"] This has zero to do with that. These are not illegals. They are here legally and the Catholic churches (and I'm Catholic) have always been at the forefront in helping the poor and being strong in their faith. After the war in NAM, tons of South Viet families immigrated to the US. Most were the ones that fought with us and we abandoned when we left. If you were from that era, you know how bad we treated those that served arm and arm with the troops in the grass. Still, we left them. So they came and we taught many English, helped them with becoming Americans, job training (which was easy because they were the hardest working people in the world). This walk of faith is our pilgrimage. to pray to the blessed Virgin Mary. Not for her to manifest a miracle but to intercede with her Son Jesus to help us. The Mexican part is because Mexico, as most of the world, was settled first by the Catholic monks creating schools and hospitals. Thousands upon thousands were murdered just for helping bring medicine and education to the poorest of the poor. Mexico was one of those places thus the high number of Catholics that are of Mexican decent. They are also some of the most faithful of God's children. Yes there's very bad people there, and there are illegals that come across, but this event has noting to do about that. It's also open to all Christians. I wish I could be as good a Christian as many of these participating. These people are also the backbone of our country as they too came here to help build. My ancestors were Scottish and French. The Scots on my dad's side were just considered Irish and were treated the same, they hated us. My other side (I'm half and half) was French, another nationality that was hated here. To make it a trifecta, we were Scottish, French Catholics. Unless you're Catholic, you have no idea of the hatred people had towards Catholics. Growing up in a rural area, it was a reason I, and my sisters and brothers, grew up having to fight (mostly Baptist. Ha). I tell people my ancestors got off a boat and crawled into a hole. The only work for them was coal mining. Much the same can be said of the LEGAL immigrant Mexican Catholics. Be what God has asked you to be and that's faithful. So respect is not too much to ask. Politics are pushed intot this. This is not a political thing. [/QUOTE]
