“Every person served is vetted” by the federal government…according to the USCCB Post of 1/26/25. My understanding is that vetted is simply code for every refugee that claims “asylum” is therefore legal & vetted according to Federal law of 1980.

Therefore, Vance’s claim that these are “illegals” is technically incorrect because they’re admitted under “asylum.”

Which sounds like a sleight of hand but may not be because it’s almost impossible to know who is telling the truth anymore.

I just pray for the day when the USA Bishops can get half as exorcised about a “devout Catholic” POTUS who is responsible for the deaths of thousands of children marching himself up to Communion for 4 years as they get about persons who come into this country claiming asylum.

The vetting question came up elsewhere in Vance’s interview. His position was that in his experience, not every immigrant admitted has actually been properly vetted.

Ya a post on rescue.org states that asylum seekers wait is 7 yrs for a ruling in this country. Which begs the question: What is their status during those 7 yrs?

Right. And certainly continuing to have a policy of pretty much open borders will not make that situation *better*… continuing to deluge an overrun system. Is that actually benefitting anyone?

And yes I agree that it is a little annoying to see everyone getting up in arms about what seems to be a disagreement in prudential judgment (I.e. how best to handle immigration policy) when full throated-support of abortion by Catholic politicians has been ignored if not tacitly allowed for years.
