Illegal versus legal immigration

Over the last 20 years or so we have seen a blurring of the lines which differentiate between illegal aliens and legal immigrants or foreign residents.  Politicians and the media have blurred the line, probably to confuse voters and have them support their objectives and  policies. 

Illegal immigrants entering the USA. 

It's evident to me that illegal immigration harms the nation as a whole. If the country feels it requires immigration then it should be legal immigration, and those who do receive the resident visa should be screened for security, health, and utility reasons. 

However, a simple model shows illegal immigration, or legal immigration which emphasizes low skill immigrants, tends to increase poverty and inequality. The illegal low skill immigrants compete for low skill jobs,  they help employers keep the total low skill worker population pool as a low pay underclass. Thus immigration has to be calibrated to avoid the oversupply of workers at the bottom.

Republican elites  will encourage illegal immigration because it does help their businesses and profits. They understand very well how this works, and they have absolutely no problem putting a Mexican illegal worker to work in the USA on a job competing with a Chinese counterpart working in China, a Chinese worker who is in turn exploited by a heartless "communist" dictatorship practicing their hybrid communist/neofascist heartless capitalism. 

Democrats, on the other hand, like to emphasize massive illegal immigration (if they can they'll make it legal) because illegal immigration is mostly made up of low educational level, underfed, low IQ males originating in the poorest sectors in Mexico and Central America. What the USA gets isn't even representative of the average person in those countries, they are getting a skewed sample: the more adventuresome, and desperate,  coming out of very violent and extremely poor regions. 

The answer as I see it is to have legal immigration, and design the entry process to allow people who help long term. This means immigration should involve a crime free, healthy, relatively young, smart, hard working, and compatible people. I couldn't care less about their color or religion, but they do need to bring value.

Pope Francis and Catholic theology

What does Pope Francis believe about God, Jesus, religion in general? 

My analysis shows the belief involves a Trinity, which includes the Son. This Son has a divine nature, was there in the beginning, at the moment of creation (see John's Gospel). The man Jesus was the Son incarnated as a Homo sapiens specimen, who chose to be born in such conditions to be able to carry a message to humanity, and sacrifice the Homo sapiens body in a gesture to gain salvation for all humanity. 

Jesus

The "Jesus message" had Marxist elements (share what you have being the key one). It also advocated a spineless political posture (no mention of seeking freedom from slavery or servitude, a permissive attitude towards torture by government authorities). It also seemed to promise a quick trip to heaven for all of humanity (salvation is near, die and go to heaven if you have faith, if you don't you'll be burned). 

Thus, the Pope believes a baby was born, a baby whose  soul had volunteered or willed itself to be born in Nazareth. 

The baby's parents' socioeconomic status was irrelevant given the presents brought by the Three Wise Men and the baby's divine nature. Evidently, this divine Jesus had whatever status it wished to have upon arrival in the flesh. No roof, humble roof, middle class roof, deluxe solid gold roof if it wished. 

The Pope also believes the College of Cardinals elected him to be Pope (head of government of the Holy See) because he had an unique connection with said Trinity. And he seems to believe the "Jesus message" and most of the traditional Catholic theology (saints, help the poor, no women priests, forget abortion, reproduce until Homo sapiens population reaches an unknown upper limit). He also seems to have a bit of bias: Francis won't consider the plight of prisoners in Castro's jails, but has a very keen desire to visit jails in other countries). 

The Pope and the Castro Dinasty

If the Castro family dictatorship thrives with the help of the Peronist pope, the future of the Cuban  people will be very ugly.

Jesus nailed to the hammer and sickle. 

Raul Castro and his eldest son Alejandro want a hereditary military dictatorship with neofascist features. 

Raúl Castro's heir, Alejandro, who today 

heads all the state security services. 

If the Catholic church takes the side of the dictatorship, Cuba will be similar, but much worse,  to Spain under the fascist Franco.

Pope Francis appears  to be endorsing 

the dictatorship' human rights abuses. 

I don't think the pope will have much credibility if he limits himself to preaching religion and his communist political beliefs, because many Cubans know communism is a terrible system, and they are atheists,  or take religion as a menu from which they grab what suits them.

German boat builder opens factory in Lybia

Deutsch VolksFloß (German Popular Raft) Corporation, whose rafts are very popular  with "migration facilitators" operating in Northern Africa and Turkey, has announced the opening of a raft factory in Benghazi, Lybia.

Deutsch VolksFloß (German Popular Raft)

 Corporation raft crossing the Mediterranean 

fully loaded with 70 immigrants.  

According to senior Vice President Angela Münchausen, the factory will have three production lines: 

Model S, a twin engine 20 seat model able to cross the Mediterranean in 24 hours.

Model M, a triple engine 40 seat model designed to cross the Mediterranean in 30 hours. The Model M includes two portable toilets and a mast the passengers can use to hang flags asking for help. 

Model L, a four engine 70 seat model designed to cross the Mediterranean in 36 hours. The Model L includes three portable toilets, a larger mast,  a radar transponder, and a small three meter skiff, which the crew can use to lead the raft to a safe European beach (this is Plan B, should European Union ships be too busy to pull them aboard before they reach Europe). 

Deutsch VolksFloß has also created an "easy finance" plan for travel agencies and inmigration facilitators, but this financing is limited to Albanian and Rumanian entities able to prove the financial strength to repay the loan. They also arranged for raft owners to ship the boat engines from Europe via UPS, to be credited and reused in future raft purchasers.
