Catholic Church, White House partner on border kids? 

The Washington Times reports that the occupant of the Oval Office called Mexican president Enrique Pe�a Nieto about the thousands of illegals pouring across America's borders from Mexico. The US "president" told his Mexican counterpart that the illegals will not qualify for legalized status or deferred deportation. The White House is trying to convince everyone that the thousands of children coming across the border are from countries other than Mexico and vice president Joe Biden is going to visit Guatemala to tell the government there that the kids can't stay here. The US "president" wants to work with the Mexican president, the White House says, to develop a regional strategy to handle immigration. Don't buy it.

When things get politically hot, it is not uncommon for a socialist president to call another socialist president and act like they are working to solve the problem when in reality they are just refusing to enforce the law to advance their agenda. It was just last week that Attorney General Eric Holder made the outlandish statement that tax-funded attorneys would assist these children in filing claims for legal status. He said, "We're taking a historic step to strengthen our justice system and protect the rights of the most vulnerable members of society." Calling them "members of society" and assigning them taxpayer-funded attorneys doesn't sound like the government is going to fly them home to their parents anytime soon. 

Something else doesn't match with the story--how do these minor children get all the way from Honduras or Guatemala without assistance of some type? Who is paying for this? A hint comes from the National Catholic Reporter in a story "How to treat unaccompanied immigrant children at center of policy debate." This pro-child migration article quotes Bishop Eusebio Elizondo: "This is an issue which should not become politicized or give cause for negative rhetoric. It is truly a humanitarian crisis which requires a comprehensive response and cooperation between the branches of the US government. Young lives are at stake." Elizondo is chairman of the Catholic Bishops Committee on Immigration.

The real story on these kids may never come out. Whether it is the Vatican, George Soros, or some Democratic Party affiliated ACORN-type operation, these kids are being used as political pawns to achieve the "president's" goal of remaking America. There will be a lot of smokescreens and a lot of deception before the good-hearted American people, who love children of all origins, give in and become home for the kids. But it is all part of the game. I'm reminded of what Jesus said in Luke 17:2, "It would be better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he was cast into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble." Eternity is a long time.
