The San Francisco Chronicle reports on a cynical little spectacle that took place earlier this week:
To “honor the dignity and work of immigrants,” Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi helps Bishop Marc Andrus wash the feet of two children Thursday at Saint John the Evangelist Episcopal Church in San Francisco.
Pelosi also used the occasion to talk about passing HR15 – bipartisan immigration legislation that her office says would “reduce the deficit by nearly $1 trillion, secure our borders, unite our families, protect our workers and provide an earned pathway to citizenship.”
As I mentioned here the other day, Latino immigration helps fill Roman Catholic churches and brings votes the Democrats’ way. It doesn’t take much, therefore, to understand why both church and party are in favor of more of it, and are busy working together to make sure that that’s what America will get.
