Why do we have to be so mean? [View all]

Members of a Catholic parish in Evanston, Ill., home of Northwestern University, are alarmed over the Trump immigration goon squad's plans to deport their two priests.

They're just two of dozens of priests who have been brought to the U.S. to fill vacancies caused by a shortage of priests in many dioceses around the country, including the Madison Diocese.

Parishioners at St. John XXIII in Evanston say the two men have devoted their lives to serving others and have done tremendous good for the people in their parish. One hails from the west African nation of Togo, the other from Mexico.

Both are here on R1 religious worker visas that permit them to serve in the United States. But the Trump's deportation frenzy has the federal government so backed up in processing paperwork that they may have to leave this fall.

Their plight is just a small example of how Donald Trump's Make America Great Again agenda is turning this country into one of the world's cruelest. Under the pretense of ridding the country of rapists, murderers, perverts and assorted scum who are living illegally in the U.S., masked strongmen are snatching innocents like those priests, longtime farm workers, hotel housekeepers and packing house laborers and sending them to uncertain fates. Their anguished families are left to suffer.

yeah, these guys are really "criminals". They are here LEGALLY on LEGAL visas which they have not overstayed. And your silly-assed problem with that is....?
