Sigh: Illegal Immigration Supporters Trying To Hijack St. Patrick’s Day

Are you surprised by this? I’m not. The wackos on the left have to involve hardcore politics in everything. And wait till you see who’s pushing this

St. Patrick’s Day and the call to stand with today’s immigrants

Each year around St. Patrick’s Day, parishes across the United States fill with green vestments and prayers of gratitude for the witness of St. Patrick, a missionary who crossed borders, carried faith across cultures and helped shape the church we know today.

It is a joyful feast. But it is also, if we allow it to be, a mirror.

As the proud daughter of Irish immigrants, I grew up with stories of sacrifice, resilience and hope. Like so many who came before them, my parents arrived seeking opportunity, safety and the freedom to build a life rooted in dignity. They were welcomed by a church that spoke their language. It nourished their faith and helped them find community in a new land.

They came legally, right?

The Irish immigrant experience is now woven into the fabric of American Catholicism. Yet we would do well to remember that Irish immigrants were not always welcomed. They faced suspicion and open hostility. Newspapers mocked them, and powerful voices insisted they did not belong. Yet they carried on, held steady by faith and by the quiet certainty that they, too, belonged to the American story.

But, they still came legally. They also assimilated. And, in fairness, those given amnesty in the 80s, mostly Mexicans, assimilated

Today’s immigrants walk a similarly difficult road.

Across the United States, families seeking refuge or opportunity face even greater challenges. Policies shift rapidly. Access to legal representation is scarce and sometimes impossible to obtain. Many of our immigrant brothers and sisters live with deep uncertainty. Even those with legal status now know just how fragile it can be, and many families include members with different immigration statuses. In this climate, parents wonder whether they will be able to remain with their children, work to support their families, contribute to their communities and worship freely without fear.

Most of them are illegals/fake asylum seekers. Others are here on TPS. You know, temporary. Some are refugees. So many are not bothering to assimilate. They expect America to change to accommodate them. They expect America to pay for everything.

St. Patrick understood what it meant to cross borders in both body and spirit. Kidnapped as a young man and taken far from his home, he later returned to Ireland as a missionary. His life was marked by displacement, yet he responded not with fear or resentment but with courage and faith. He carried Christ with him across cultures and into unfamiliar lands.

In one of the most beloved prayers attributed to St. Patrick, he asks for the grace to see Christ everywhere: “Christ with me…. Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me.” This vision reminds us that we must recognize Christ in those we might otherwise overlook, including the immigrant seeking opportunity or simply the chance to live without fear.

And there we go, hijacking St. Patrick to push for illegal aliens.

This year, as we wear green and give thanks for the witness of St. Patrick, let us also ask how we are called to respond. Let us honor our heritage by standing with today’s immigrants in their time of need. Let us carry forward a faith that, like Patrick’s, crosses borders, builds bridges and proclaims the dignity of every human person. Most importantly, let us remember that we all belong to one another.

I wonder how many in the Catholic Legal Immigration Network (CLINIC) are taking the illegals into their own homes. How many are paying to feed and water the illegals out of their own pockets. There is nothing the wackos won’t make political

This is the moonbats in a nutshell: we’re talking movies and the Oscars, and a nutter had to go with TDS. Everything is in the lens of politics. Months ago I mentioned a cool guitar I was looking at and someone dragged in that Trump guitar. Why? Nuts.
