Bannon: Catholic Church Opposes DACAs End Because It Needs Illegal Aliens To Fill The Churches

via HuffPo: Bannon, former chief strategist to President Donald Trump, gave his first major interview since being ousted from the White House.

In an excerpt of a “60 Minutes” interview released Thursday ― Bannon’s first major interview since being ousted from the White House last month ― he told CBS’s Charlie Rose that “it’s obvious” the church condemned Trump’s decision due to its own interests.

“They need illegal aliens to fill the churches,” Bannon said. “It’s obvious on the face of it.”

He continued, “Catholic bishops condemn him [because] they have an economic interest. They have an economic interest in unlimited immigration, unlimited illegal immigration.”

Catholic bishops have roundly criticized the Trump administration’s decision on Tuesday to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program, former President Barack Obama’s move to protect so-called Dreamers, undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. at a young age.


Keep flapping yer pie hole, Steenie. You're doing great work.

amusedly,
Bright

Ah, wait, I have to be in YOUR (bannon) shoes to ask the question.

Given you are a filthy pile of human dung, I cant imagine what that would even be.

I know there is freedom of speech, but some people shouldn't have the right to speak hate! He went after other faiths and nationalities, spewing his hate to those who will listen. He will be the reason we have civil war right here in states!

Far-right-wing Protestants and the KKK have a long history of hatred towards the Catholic Church.
