Nothing is more permanent than Temporary Protected Status (TPS). If you doubt it, consider that over 200,000 Salvadorans still have temporary protected status in the US as a result of an earthquake that occurred in that country in, wait for it, January 2001.

Once in, never out is the basic rule when it comes to mass, taxpayer subsidized migration into the US. And the greatest advocate of this migration scam on the Americana people is the Roman Church-State (RCS).

The first step in the scam is getting the US government to designate a country for TPS. The way the law was written in 1990, it was supposed to apply only to people who happened to be in the US on, for example, a tourist visa at a time when a natural disaster struck their country preventing them from returning to their home country. As immigration writer Daniel Horowitz notes, that TPS has heartily been abused by illegal aliens can be seen from the fact that 200,000 Salvadorans hold TPS.

The second step is then to don sackcloth and ashes and publically bewail the cruelty of the government when it looks as if it’s actually going to start to taking the “temporary” in TPS seriously.

For example, in a March press release the USCCB quoted Bishop Joe S. Vasquez whining, “We need a permanent legislative solution for those [DREAMERs and TPS holders] who have spent their lives contributing and living in the United States, the country they know as home”

And if that weren’t enough, sob the bishops, the TPS recipients have American kids! You can’t deport them. Why, you’d be separating families!  Keep in mind the only reason the TPS folks have American kids is because of the current absurd interpretation of the 14th Amendment, heartily supported by Rome, which grants instant citizenship to nearly all children born on American soil regardless of the citizenship status of their parents.

On the USCCB’s Justice for Immigrants website [n.b. there is no Justice for American Citizens and Taxpayers website] Bishop Vasquez is at it again. “TPS recipients have deep ties to our communities, parishes, and country. They are businesses (sic) owners, successful professionals, home owners, parents of U.S. citizen children, and most importantly, children of God [n.b. the Bishop’s universalism].

Given that TPS has become such a useful tool for the bishops to flood the US with Roman Catholic migrants who have a very real chance of becoming permanent citizens if they can hang around long enough, it should come as no surprise the USCCB has come out in favor of TPS for Venezuela.

Once again, it’s Bishop Vasquez who’s running point on this latest fraud. “At this time, it is vital that Venezuelans in the United States have an opportunity to live with dignity, work lawfully, and provide for their families’ well-being until they can safely return home,” he’s quoted saying in an April 4 USCCB press release.

Of course, as should be clear by now, Bishop Vasquez has no intention of ever seeing any of these people return home. Once they’re in the US, it’s just a matter of the USCCB helping them run out the clock, and after fifteen or twenty years have elapsed, and everyone’s forgotten whey all these Venezuelans ever came to the US in the first place, Vasquez or some future bishop will make the same heart rending plea for them as he’s currently doing for the Hondurans and Salvadorans.

Adds the CEO of Catholic Relief Services Sean Callahan, “We must provide humanitarian assistance to all our Venezuelan brothers and sisters in need, whether they live in the United States, in other South American countries, or in Venezuela itself.”

Something tells me the “we” Callahan has in mind includes the US taxpayer, but as is the case with pronouncements from Roman Catholic prelates, he never quite gets around to clearly saying so.

Rome’s unchristian and deceptive immigration tactics are on full display in the USCCB’s calls for a TPS designation for Venezuela, as is made clear by its words and actions related to past TPS designations for other countries.

As Christians, we wholly support those who seek to give of their own resources to help those who have suffered loss. Historically, American Evangelicals have been among the most generous people in the world.

But the calls of Bishop Vasquez and others are not about private charity, but of abusing the immigration laws of the United States and the nation’s taxpayers to advance the papal Antichrist’s long-term goal of Romanizing America.

Such tactics must be soundly rejected and uneqivocally condemned by all followers of Jesus Christ.
