HERMAN & SMITH: A winning path to immigration reform - Washington Times

The angles left out on the issue about immigration are skilled immigration and respect for the law. How about expanding the Arizona 'outrage' to actually charge the many businesses as well as homes who take advantage of illegals, under a modality of slavery nobody wants even to explore calling it slavery. 
On the other hand, if they feel so compelled to decriminalize illegal immigration, why not just ignore immigration and let any one and everyone in and out as pleased. 
The real matter is people using people and thinking closely to the issue, the matter is not really in the illegal, but on what makes people take the tremendous risks involved to go to a foreign country and have to surrender dignity and fortune just to seek better opportunities. 
Maybe because there are not opportunities at home, and it is not because of over population, or maybe because the risks are manipulated for political aims.

Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples

Gospel text ( L uke 11,1-4): One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when He had finished, one of his disciples said to him, «Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples». And Jesus said to them, «When you pray, say this: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, give us each day the kind of bread we need, and forgive us our sins, for we also for-give all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test»

What is going wrong with the world?!

After the question which seems to come back at every generation, the clearest answer is perhaps… ‘Selfishness’ The point is very simple, when we put our own ego, our self, at the center of everything… Do we expect the rest of the world to bend backwards to satisfy us? We do have fundamental freedoms like opinion, religion, etc. Are those freedoms to be limited by the freedom of others? Are those freedoms to limit the freedom of others?

Money

Is money the ultimate goal, the end of all means? Nowadays, it seems, everything is not just measured in terms of money, but everything needs to be, has to be, in terms of money. Money is set as the goal, over anything. Money is meant to be just a media for exchange of goods and services, not a goal on itself, yet our society has corrupted onto making of money a statement beyond life, family, marriage and most definitively above love and truth. Such a philosophy has degraded our souls to the point of denying everything that is in conflict with the value of money. Even when charity is concerned, it seems mercy can only be measured in monetary terms, as if charity could be measured by anyone except God alone. If there is crusade or cause to be enrolled, the only acceptable way has been institutionalized as the amount of money it can be contributed, regardless of the individual efforts that could be applied or spent.
