FIGURES… U.S. Bishops Unveil Prayer Service for America’s 250th Anniversary Centered On Migrants
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has released a national prayer service for the country’s upcoming 250th anniversary that places immigration, justice, and the dignity of migrants at the center of America’s semiquincentennial observance. Titled “A National Prayer Service Honoring the Many Journeys that Shaped America,” the resource was developed by the Committee on Migration and the Subcommittee for the Promotion of Racial Justice and Reconciliation.

Diversity, however, is like hot Tabasco sauce. You add a few drops to your mashed potatoes, you have improved them. But keep pouring it in, and at 10% Tabasco your starchy purée becomes hard to digest. At 35% -- which is the United States now -- you will need an ambulance and a stomach pump. A California-style mash that’s 58% Tabasco will kill you.

America is a migrant country. We all descended from migrants. They are the life blood of this country. Why do you think the US government let them in for the past fifty years?
