“Pope Francis is in America. Can you feel it? There is a certain electricity in the air and the nation’s 70 million Catholics have the kind of excitement that we usually don’t have unless we’re asking forgiveness for it afterwards.” – Stephen Colbert

Immigrants in Europe from AP news. Unaccompanied children. What a different attitude than those who came to this country as immigrants:
“Compared to adult asylum seekers, unaccompanied children are treated under a different set of rules in many European countries. Because they are more vulnerable, they are separated from other migrants and refugees on arrival at their destination country, and transferred to local reception centers like the one in Kent. There they stay for up for two months while authorities make further plans for them: Some will transfer to social housing with supervision by social workers or a guardian – a “god man” in Swedish, meaning a “good person” – while others stay with local foster families. All have the right to accommodation and welfare benefits including education, health care, and money to buy food and clothes.”
