A brand new poll has emerged showing that Catholics are not big fans of the migration policies being pushed by the Church, which is contradicting bishops who are supporters of President Joe Biden’s mass migration efforts — the open border policies that are currently causing chaos along the southern portion of the country — according to a report that was published in June 2024, by a survey team affiliated with the Church.
Gee, imagine that. Actual boots-on-the-ground Christians, the ones who have to deal with the shenanigans perpetrated by illegal immigrants, are against allowing massive waves of strangers into their country for no reason. Who would have thought?
via Breitbart:
Forty-three percent of 1,342 self-identified Catholics said they want the inflow reduced, according to a summary by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) at Georgetown University.
Just 23 percent favor more migration, even though 37 percent of the respondents said they are Latinos and 41 percent said they are Democrats. Just 30 percent said they were Republican. Twenty-three percent said they want migration to be raised, and 34 percent said they want it to be kept at its current level.
One of the pollsters for CARA said:
Respondents generally said immigration was making things worse, with some exceptions. The areas where immigration was seen as making matters worse are: crime (56 percent worse and 7 percent better), taxes (50 percent worse and 15 percent better), the economy in general (48 percent worse and 24 percent better), and social and moral values (38 percent worse and 21 percent better). A plurality, 40 percent, saw immigration as having little effect on job opportunities for themselves or their families. But 39 percent saw immigration as making food, music and the arts better in the United States, compared with 16 percent who said these have been made worse.
“Among those most likely to believe immigration is a good thing for the country were Democrats (28 percent) and those aged 18 to 34 (27 percent). Republicans were the most likely to believe immigration is a bad thing for the country (34 percent),” the pollster, Mark Gray, went on to say concerning the results of the poll.

Pope Francis, along with his U.S. Deputy, Cardinal Timothy Dolan from New York, have made many complaints about how more and more Catholics are pushing back against migrants entering their communities.
“The people in that [New York] parish … rebelled and said, “Absolutely not, we will not have them here,” Dolan whined in December 2023, as the poll was being conducted.
Dolan understands the issue because his Catholic-affiliated groups help to fly, feed, and shelter migrants in Americans’ neighborhoods, despite the economic, pocketbook, housing, and criminal damage done to Americans.
Proving that wokeness has infected the Roman Catholic Church’s leadership, Dolan called the criticism bigotry, pulling out one of the dumbest and oldest excuses in the book to defend his organization and the work they are doing to bring illegal migrants into the country.
He then said that he’s been getting hate mail, claiming the messages say things along the lines of, “‘We’re tired of you bishops being hung up about the immigrants, and we’re not going to support you anymore.’”
“I am honored to receive criticism and to be maligned for the defense of the immigrant,” he stated.
In recent months, many reports show that the church-supported, progressive-directed inflow of migrants is killing many Americans and thousands of migrants. , and also inflicting massive economic damageon ordinary Americans, including on the parishioners who fund the church.

Also, the survey includes a wide range of Catholics, many of whom are not religious. Twenty-eight percent said they “rarely or never” attend mass, and another 28 percent said they attend mass “a few times a year.” Forty-seven percent said they are not at all involved in parish activities.
The poll spotlights the nation’s turn against the federal government’s economic policy of Extraction Migration.
In the city of New York, a total of 62 percent of those who consider themselves Catholic have described even legal immigration as being a burden, while 27 percent say it’s a benefit. Personally, I believe when it is done legally and through the proper channels, immigration can be a great blessing.
Illegal immigration is bad for everyone, as the skyrocketing crime rates in major cities across the nation has made abundantly clear.
