The Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations

Talk about mixed messages!


Los Angeles, Calif., Aug 29, 2017 / 04:29 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- President Donald Trump’s promise to treat undocumented minors with “great heart” needs to be reflected in policy that gives them legal protection, not deportation, Archbishop Jose Gomez of Los Angeles has said.
“They did not make the decision to enter this country in violation of our laws, and in fairness we cannot hold them accountable,” Archbishop Gomez said in an Aug. 29 column for the Archdiocese’s Angelus News. “America is the only country they know, and the vast majority are working hard to make their own contribution to the American dream.”

Here's where it gets confusing...

 “Archbishop Gomez, however, saw an opening for the president to change. 
President Trump campaigned on a promise to end DACA,” the archbishop continued. “But since his election he has expressed sympathy for these young people, promising to treat them with ‘great heart’.” 

 The "undocumented minors" may not have known they entered the country illegally then, but they sure as shootin' know it now. They know their parents broke the law. So in response, the Bishop wants the President to renege on his promise to revoke DACA and become a liar? The Bishop is encouraging a sin? Or to my way of thinking, two sins?
