Catholic charities sponsored this woman with eight children with no means to support herself or her family. They then DUMP these people into our overburdened welfare system and expect the taxpayers to just sit back and take it. Why doesn't the ultrarich tax-exempt Catholic church provide support for these refugees? Better yet, take care of them in their own countries?
Well it sounds like our legal system allows this. No one broke any laws.
You think this may be the ONLY occurrence here ?
We're one of the last countries to offer social welfare to non-citizens for one reason or another.
Most other countries require at least one family member be a citizen.
So now you have the world's poor coming to America.
This is what the majority wanted..this is their "Brave New World".

No particular party. The majority of people who send representatives to DC who enact and enforce our laws.
Obama for example. Under his administration 800K+ illegals will get amnesty via work permits.
The DHS has been told to release illegals from deportation unless they are felons.
Now if Obama gets reelected then the "majority" of people are fine with what he's done.
If illegal immigration were that high of a priority then I think more would have sided with Ron Paul who wanted to eliminate birthright citizenship and reform the immigration process for example.

I think that if voters were to criticize this funding, the churches would spin it around and claim "victimhood status" like they always do. "Ooh, why is the evil government mandating what we should believe in our faith, blah, blah, blah.". Here in corpus Christi, we recently had a former RC archbishop comparing Obamacare to what Hitler did to the jews and that if the Jews had spoken up that the Holocaust never would have happened. Never mind that Jews made up only 1% of pre-war Germany's population.
The catholic men in charge are right wing nut jobs and closeted self loathing gay men for the most part.
By the way, just look at how these refugees fare under Obamcare:
I'm a Catholic and I hate the never ending "Social Justice" speeches and programs from my Church. I think it is time for the Catholic Church to stay paying income taxes and property taxes to fund all their "social justice" programs.
Send them back to the Congo ... or better yet, send the Belgians back to the Congo they were better off back when it was called the Belgian Congo anyways.
For the ignorant ones, the Congo Free State (the rubber quota, cannibalism, etc) ended when direct Belgian rule started in 1908. By the 1950s the Congo had one of the highest quality of life and education among the native people.

How DARE those $#@!@#! Catholics help a woman flee poverty, rape and torture in her native country?!?!?! The ba$tads!!!
Funny thing about it is this: As is the case with most oversees refugees who come to America, this woman will probably have a steady job within 6 months of moving here.

Yeah, that's great. But no job she will get will allow her to support her 8 kids without government assistance.... ON TOP OF the approximately 5-10k/year it costs to educate these children.
The point is the church with all their infinite resources dumped her on the tax payer. I suppose they didn't feel like shacking her up at the Vatican.
I'm all for humanitarianism, but damn, we are chock full of people here ALREADY who need help. It is simply unsustainable to keep importing more and more poverty and ensure that our safety net remains in tact.
