Alternative facts and fear-mongering, we've seen this before: Distinctly Catholic: The U.S.A. does not face an immigration crisis. There is no drastic epidemic of violent crime perpetrated by undocumented immigrants. None of this mattered to our new president.
MGB:_Trump is either a long time nativist or he has decided that pandering to them is his best option. Sadly, he will stubornly go down this road for a while. I don’t care if this hurts the GOP or the political stance of the bishops (they should talk economics, not politics), but I do care what it does to those immigrants cauught in his system. The authoritarianism of Trump and his followers is dangerous (John Dean wrote about the phenomenon in Conservatives without Conscience), but our system has safeguards to stop it. Let us pray that those safeguards continue to function. We stopped Nixon, we can stop Trump.
