Tribute to Tom Tancredo and Lou Dobbs. They rightly took offense when Pope Benedict ignored the negative effects of ILLEGAL immigration on the USA:

April 22, 2008

When the Pope visited the US, Rep. Tom Tancredo wore a shirt which said “America is Full” and said that his (the pope’s) “immigration comments may have less to do with spreading the gospel than they do about recruiting new members of the church.”

He made the remark in response to the pope’s call on American bishops to continue to welcome the immigrants who join their ranks, without reference to the legal status of the new flock.

Tancredo’s response? The pope is encouraging immigrants because it’s good for the Catholic Church and he accused the pontiff of “faith-based marketing,"

Mr. Tancredo cited a March 1 Wall Street Journal editorial to support his argument. The editorial concerned a new Pew survey on religion in the U.S. and noted that in recent decades the Catholic Church has been losing members among the native born but gaining them among the foreign born.

To Lou Dobbs it amounted to the pope “insulting our country.” The CNN anchor said, “I really don’t appreciate the bad manners of a guest telling me in this country and my fellow citizens what to do.”
