Via t
he Arizona Politics blog, an interesting note about the proceedings of the United Nation Human Rights Council’s “Draft report of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review.” Several nations brought points related to Arizona’s tough new immigration law, and the Vatican called for Operation Streamline to be repealed:
The Holy See noted that “Operation Streamline” against irregular migrants should be suspended and asked for information about the Government’s decision to review its position on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
We’ll post updates on whether the Catholic Church in the United States follows this pronouncement with similar statements against Streamline.
The United States has the right to protect it’s borders and citizens. If that means prosecuting people who enter the country unlawfully, then so be it. Break the law, due the time. Irregardless, the punishment starts at 15 days confinement, then release to their country of origin. Read a little and you can find the truth. There is no human rights violation, because no one has the RIGHT to enter another country in an unlawful manner. No one has the RIGHT to not be prosecuted for committing a crime.
