#4 In the old days, the charities were saddled with clothing, housing and feeding the lot not the general taxpayer. So, how about going back to the original system. You want them, you pay for them. Then we'll see how you manage - mouth meet the wallet.

#5 Our local Catholic parish is half old Anglos and half Hispanic, with almost all the kids and young people, and priest, being Hispanic. Without the immigrants the parish is gone in 20 years, and insolvent in 2.

#6 I wonder oif Trump's public threats, and 'failures' are having the effect of wall construction - discouraging new colonists? Or maybe identifying networks?

#7 Let them live off of the parishes, in the parish rectory or convent.

Put your money where your mouths are, monsignors.

#9 Charge them with aiding and abetting foreign invaders, remove tax exempt and also put them under siege, no one in or out, no food in, cut the water and power. After about a week, collect the corpses and go to the next one on the list.

#10 Look, if they're serious about expressing charity - "sanctuary," per the medieval custom - then the parishes need to put up or shut up. Take these people on as permanent wards of the parish, or else hand them over to the authorities for deportation.

#11 The churches could sell their land to fund the gimmigrants.

Charge the average tax of the average worker per gimmigrant, rebate for the tax the gimmigrant pays (all benefits charged to church) .

#12 Law enforcement can enter any tax exempt facility involved in illegal activity, collect evidence and then prosecute individuals. Property can be confiscated and auctioned to recover steep fines levied can be ordered by the court. Most priests are pedophiles anyway. Do it.

Not true, but don’t let that stop you.
