WASHINGTON -- Dozens of Virginia immigrant-rights advocates marched to the steps of the Vatican's Washington liaison office today seeking the pope's help regarding U.S. immigration policy.

"We are here because we believe our voice is not strong enough," Ricardo Juarez said in delivering a letter for Pope Benedict XVI. The pope is due to arrive in Washington Tuesday in the first papal visit to the U.S. in nine years.

That would be a very bad move for the Catholic Church; it is in danger on many levels (child molesting priests, etc) as it is-----and, its membership is declining.

Pretty weird thing to do. What does it mean that Mexican Catholics don't want to live in Catholic Mexico but prefer a more Protestant country yet want the Pope to intervene and demand their racist right to ignore USA law?

The Pope is busy with other things like damage control over the molestations, he's trying to elevate the image of the church!!!

The last thing he needs to do is to latch onto the illegal alien problem!

Really.. the pope has no business speaking on any political relations with other countries. He's a spiritual leader, not a politician.

Message to Pope: The majority of Virginia is Christian and wants our state and local governments to crack down on illegals. Stay out of our business and our government. Besides with all them preists in love with children dont you have bigger problems?
