He is correct. The Vatican closes its borders every night, and nobody is allowed to stay without permission.

EVERY Catholic Bishop should be teaching this. Thank you Father for speaking the truths of our Faith.

It is extremely important that you listen to every word this priest articulates here. If you have followed me for a time and read my public statements on this topic; then you likely know, As a Cook County Commissioner, and a practicing Catholic, I have consistently supported treating all migrants present here with human dignity, compassion, and basic care, that is a moral obligation. At the same time, it is unfair and unsustainable to ask American taxpayers and vulnerable residents to shoulder the costs of housing, healthcare, education, and public safety, when these safety net resources are already scarce for our own citizens. Compassion and the rule of law are not mutually exclusive. We must provide humane care while people are here, but we as government officials also must collaborate with, and prepare for an orderly, lawful, and federally coordinated return of migrants who entered the country illegally between 2020 and 2025 to their nations of origin. Anything less is neither compassionate nor responsible governance, and not fair to our citizens.

The Catechism clearly states this yet people still make up whatever they want to believe

Why would you even bring this up? No one serious is proposing the US have open borders. You’re only doing it to provide air cover for Trump. That isn’t your job.

No it is not! Our Lord would never allow open borders. He cares about all his children. Obama and Biden opened borders so there would be deaths to American adults, children, teens, etc. - just think about that - those 2 Marxist clowns want the opposite of what God wants!

Father Alar is right. It is by God’s authority alone that all nations are created and are sovereign. The laws and borders of all countries must be upheld and weighed against God’s law - The morals of his ten commands, and the will for his mercy. Nations that don’t will be removed

Read CCC 2241 “THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH” Understanding CCC 2241 Key Principles of Immigration CCC 2241 outlines the Catholic Church's teachings on immigration, emphasizing the following points: •Right to Immigrate: Individuals have a fundamental right to seek better living conditions and security in other countries. •Obligation of Nations: More prosperous nations are obliged to welcome foreigners seeking security and livelihood, as long as they are able to do so. Responsibilities of Immigrants •Respect for Laws: Immigrants must respect the laws of the host country and contribute to the common good. •Civic Duties: They are expected to assist in civic responsibilities and show gratitude for the material and spiritual heritage of their new country. Limitations on Immigration •Regulation by Authorities: Political authorities can set conditions on immigration to ensure it aligns with the common good of their nation. •Not Unlimited: The right to immigrate is not absolute; it can be limited based on the capacity of the receiving country and its resources. This teaching reflects a balance between the rights of individuals to seek a better life and the responsibilities of nations to manage immigration in a way that serves the common good. FACT: Immigration is not what it once was. People from 3rd world nations are infiltrating developed nations in massive quantities, overwhelming the nations they are invading. These modern day invaders do NOT respect the laws of the nations they’re invading, they are committing atrocities, crimes, murdering innocent civilians, demanding to be taken care of and imposing their languages and religions onto the Christian nations they have invaded. For instance…Islam in not compatible With Western culture. Spanish is not the native language of the USA, Arabic is not the native language of European countries. Legal Immigrants who migrated legally are expected to assimilate and abide by the laws of the country they immigrated to. Illegal immigration by people who invaded rather than properly immigrating are lawless criminals and by all means should be expelled from the country they illegally invaded. PERIOD END OF DISCUSSION

Just like in America, we have liberals who want to destroy America and the American way of life, we also have the same problem in the church, the liberals like James Martin who is evil and wants to destroy the church.

Thank you Father. I think there has been an error that 'the Poor can do no wrong' that has crept into the minds of some in the Church. It is an idea promoted heavily by some politicians outside the Church.

My Deacon seems to disagree. His homilies over the last few weeks have been almost full throated ANTIFA talking points. Parishioners normally get an email with the homily on Saturday. So when he’s planning on playing redical up there, we go to the second Liturgy where it’s another Deacon or our Priest with their own homily.

Unrestricted open borders would lead to total chaos.
