Lux Lucet

The RCCS has been busy perfecting its refugee racket for nearly 70 years.  We – meaning Americans and citizens of other Western nations – are told by the popes and by the bishops that we have a moral duty to take in all comers and provide them, at taxpayer expense with fabulous cash and prizes.  Should we shirk this duty, we are offending God himself.

All this is bunk, of course.  Neither Afghans nor anyone else from any other nation has a moral claim on the goods of the American people.  The popes and bishops of Rome reach their conclusion based on two false, unbiblical ideas that lie at the foundation of their economic thinking.  First, the principle of the universal destination all goods, which, as John Robbins has noted in Ecclesiastical Megalomania, makes need, “the moral criterion for the rightful and lawful possession of property:  Whoever needs property ought to possess it.  Need makes another’s goods one’s own.  Need is the ultimate and only moral title to property” (32).

A second false concept used by the RCCS to push mass, welfare migration is the Fatherhood of God, Brotherhood of Man (FOGBOM).  But the Bible does not teach that all have God as their father.  Jesus told the Pharisees that they were of their father the devil.  But the popes want us to believe that God is the father of all and that we are all brothers in Christ. 

That FOGBOM is an important component in the RCCS’s thought concerning immigration, migration and refugee resettlement, one need only look at the Afghan Resource Page on the Justice for Immigrants website.   In the upper left corner of the page it reads, “we are one family under God.” 

Please note, Justice for Immigrants is a project of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) formed in 2004 in the wake of the publication of Strangers No Longer: Together on the Journey of Hope, the USCCB’s position paper on how to flood America with migrants from Latin America.  For an exposition of this evil document, read “Romanizing America through Illegal Immigration.”

This leads me to the latest nation breaking push by the RCCS in the form of the mass importation of Afghans into America. 

“Nonprofits prepare for projected arrival of Afghan refugees to Amarillo” is the headline of a story sent to me by a  friend. If you read the story, you’ll notice – big surprise! – Catholic Charities is right in the middle of things.  “’The process will be very similar to what we already do for other refugees,’ said Jeff Gulde, executive director of Catholic Charities.”

Oddly, or maybe it’s not odd at all, there’s a story from a Cincinnati TV station that is almost identical to the one in Amarillo. 

The United States is evacuating thousands of people from Afghanistan every day:  19,000 in the last 24 hours alone and 82,000 since Aug. 14. That includes a family of eight who will soon call Cincinnati home. Helping them with the transition is Catholic Charities Southwest Ohio. “They are already here in the U.S.,” said Catholic Charities Southwest Ohio Director of Refugee Resettlement Annie Scheid.  “They were part of these initial groups that were evacuated within the last week or so.”

If it’s going on in Amarillo and Cincinnati, in how many other cities is this same story taking place? 

That Rome is neck deep in promoting maximum Afghan refugee resettlement can be seen from the statements by the USCCB itself. 

For example, on July 30, 2021, the USCCB issued a press release bragging about the organization’s involvement in the Special immigrant Visa program since its inception in 2006.  In the press release, Rome brags about its involvement in the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program since its inception in 2006.  Question, did the RCCS lobby for the creation of the SIV? 

The USCCB goes on to blaspheme by referring to Pope Francis as “Our Holy Father” and quoting him referring to welcoming newcomers as “an invitation to overcome our fears so as to encounter the other, to welcome, to know and to acknowledge him or her.”

But what Pope Francis does not talk about is the very thing Giulivo Tessarolo mentioned in his introduction to EFN, the enormous cost of all this “welcoming.” 

The problem with Rome is that it does not distinguish between government welfare and Christian charity.  In Christian charity, one gives of one’s own goods out of one’s own initiative.  But government welfare is all about force.  It’s all about the government taking money from one person and giving it to another. 

Government welfare, whether it’s taking money from one American to give to another or taking money from American citizens and giving it to foreign refugees is theft.  There is no authorization in Scripture or in the Constitution for the federal government to do such a thing, but the Democrats and the USCCB, and the Pope all think this is a great thing. 

Unsurprisingly, Democrat, notorious socialist, and Roman Catholic Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez echoed the USCCB and the Pope when she tweeted on 8/16/21, “We have a moral obligation to the Afghan people…We must immediately welcome them to the U.S. & provide real support as they rebuild their lives.”   

This raises the question, just what moral obligation do Americans have to Afghans? 

One could make the case that there is an obligation to those Afghans who worked on behalf of the US government during the war and are thus in danger now that the Taliban is in control of the country.  But neither Ocasio-Cortez nor the USCCB make any distinction between such persons and the general population of Afghanistan.  Further, even if there is some moral obligation to help those who worked for the US during the war, why is it that they must be brought to America?  Are there no other nations to which they could go?  Nations with cultures more like Afghanistan than America?

A recent report out of Arizona highlights the problem with Muslim immigration to the West.  The headline reads “Arizona: Islamic Family Tries to Murder Pregnant Daughter for Dating a Non-Muslim – ‘I’m not scared of your American Laws.’

It turns out this was a case of an attempted “honor killing,” a case where an Islamic family takes it upon themselves to kill a – in their view – wayward daughter who has taken a non-Muslim boyfriend.  Worth asking, was this Iraqi family brought to the US on an SIV by the RCCS?  I don’t know the answer, but given Rome’s boasting about being part of the SIV program since its inception in 2006 and since it covered Iraqi nationals, it certainly is possible. 

Is this the sort of thing America needs more of or less of? 

Moving from general Islamic immigration to more specifically Afghan refugee issues, Afghans are notorious in Europe for being among the most criminal of all refugees.  In a story titled “I’ve Worked with Refugees for Decades.  Europe’s Afghan Crime Wave Is Mind-Boggling” Cheryl Benard writes of what took place in Austria and other nations with large Afghan refugee populations.

But there was one development that had not been expected, and was not tolerable: the large and growing incidence of sexual assaults committed by refugees against local women. These were not of the cultural-misunderstanding-date-rape sort, but were vicious, no-preamble attacks on random girls and women, often committed by gangs or packs of young men. At first, the incidents were downplayed or hushed up—no one wanted to provide the right wing with fodder for nationalist agitation, and the hope was that these were isolated instances caused by a small problem group of outliers. As the incidents increased, and because many of them took place in public or because the public became involved either in stopping the attack or in aiding the victim afterwards, and because the courts began issuing sentences as the cases came to trial, the matter could no longer be swept under the carpet of political correctness. And with the official acknowledgment and public reporting, a weird and puzzling footnote emerged. Most of the assaults were being committed by refugees of one particular nationality: by Afghans.

Is this what Americans have a moral obligation to support?  Not according to the Scriptures.  Paul tells us that the civil magistrate’s job is to punish those who practice evil, not invite them into their nation. 

If America takes in large numbers of Afghan refugees, Americans in general, and American women in particular, will pay the price.  And that price is unacceptable. 

On top of all this, Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI) noted recently that of the 2,000 Afghan refugees held at Ft. McCoy in Wisconsin, not one of them is a Special Immigrant Visa holder, meaning none of these people were working for the US during the war, (‘They can leave at any time’: Congressman expresses concern over unvetted Afghans at U.S. Army base”).  Quite literally, these Afghan refugees can walk off the base any time they want.  What could possibly go wrong?  And when something does go wrong, you can be sure that neither the USCCB, nor Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, nor the Pope will take any responsibility for it.   

It appears that Americans have been sold a bill of goods by public officials, who would have us believe that all the Afghans brought to American are all some sort of war heroes who have put their lives on the line to help American troops.  If Rep. Tiffany is correct, this is simply not the case. 

Put another way, there is evidence that the Afghan refugee resettlement program is a racket, the purpose of which is to flood America with difficult to assimilate Afghan Muslims.  And this at a time when our southern border is an open sieve with some 200,000 plus migrants illegally crossing in July alone with no end in sight. 

The migrant floodgates have been opened by Romanist Joe Biden, and it appears that the intention is to speed up the replacement of America’s historic core population with one of a radically different sort and to permanently transform the cultural and political landscape of the nation.  The goal seems to be to advance political Romanism by creating a state of one-party rule where the Democrats, the party whose antecedents have been rum, Romanism and rebellion, are perpetually in power.
