Pope: Migrants should heed host's values
2007-01-15
Pope Benedict XVI urged immigrants on Sunday to respect the social values of their new countries and said laws are needed to protect their dignity.

Benedict, addressing pilgrims and tourists in St. Peter's Square, said migration should be seen as a resource, not a problem. Without naming any country or nationality, he lamented the "painful" conditions refugees, exiles, the homeless and the persecuted often endure. "I hope that soon there will be a balanced management of migratory flows and of human mobility in general, so benefits can reach the entire human family, beginning with concrete measures which favor legal emigration and the reuniting of families," the pontiff added.

#5  I think the Pope is talking about the way things should be, in a perfect world. After all, we really don't want the Pope to advocate sending all muzzies back to the cat boxes they came from. Leave that kind of talk to Rantburgers. Sad to say, it's not a perfect world. If the migrants don't respect their hosts it's hard for their hosts to respect them.

#4  Pope translation. Dear Meterite worshipping followers of the terrorist peophile for profit Muhamhead.

When visiting middle America and in the event your host runs out of toilet paper, be prepared to share your Koran. That's what they use when taking a shit.

#3  Meanwhile, Wetbacks are bringing fatal brain-worms across the Rio Grande. If Chile and Peru can mine their borders, then the US can do the same thing to keep out the Wets.

#2  Here is the complete address given by Benedict XVI.

Excerpts:

To this great number of brothers and sisters must be added the internally displaced and irregular migrants, keeping in mind that each one of them has, in one way or another, a family. Therefore, it is important to care for migrants and their families through the help of specific legislative, juridical and administrative protections, as well as through a network of services, listening centers and structures of social and pastoral assistance.

And:

Also in the huge field of international migrations, the human person must always be placed at the center. The just integration of families in social, economic and political systems is only achieved on one hand, by respecting the dignity of all immigrants and, on the other hand, by immigrants recognizing the values of the host society.
