Let me get this straight- you are suggesting that the Catholic Charities were stealing money?

---

What do you think?

---

I think they are an easy target because of the work they do for the poor and marginalized.

The truth is probably not as nefarious as some might hope and they probably run close to a deficit most of the time, staff turnover from low pay, and neglected facilities from budget shortfalls. I don't know and I know many on here don't know. What we do know is that they provide a very needed service to help resettle documented migrants in our country as they move through the process of becoming US citizens.

---

Here's what I know. Large, bureaucratic organizations suck at delivering services. In my opinion we need to stop sucking all of the money into DC so that communities can provide care at local levels. That has the best chance of resources being distributed charitably.

---

Historically that provides more opportunities for fraud and results in an unequal distribution of services based on local biases.

---

That doesn't even make sense. Local bias is why it is more effective. People in DC don't understand local issues.

Counterpoint: You've forgotten that a reform Jew teaching history in the NE knows a lot about immigration here in Texas.

When in American history was discrimination and depravation at its greatest? When the government was more or less involved? Who, historically, has called for "states rights"?

What about people seeking asylum trying to do it the right way?

---

Unless you do it legally it is not the right way.

---

Number I've repeatedly heard is that 80% of asylum seekers are false claims of asylum.

It speaks to the capacity for local agencies to operate based on need rather than based on existing prejudice of whatever nature.

---

With all due respect, there is nobody on here who is as prejudiced or biased as you. You just do not understand that.

Because they shouldn't be allowed to claim asylum in the United States? Why?

We have a massive immigration problem at present, have no idea how many people we have actually in the country at present, and have no need for any more immigrants. May I suggest El Salvador or Panama?
