text: MSW - thank you for posting this especially Stiller's statement and the comparison to the tepid/weak USCCB statement (which continues a disturbing pattern).
  
  This only highlights last week's pastoral by Bishop Mark in El Paso.  You also do a good job expanding on the consistent and continual struggle by the Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops against Texas Senate Bill 4.  (contrary to one commenter last week - these pastorals/statements are very important to local folks and to cynically question or disparage them is unseemly - why not to comment when you don't know TX).
  
  Some corrections:
  - over 100 folks in the rig
  - some came from places other than Mexico
  - NOTE - Mexican drug cartels are switching gears and doing human trafficking because it is more lucrative than drugs
  
  Finally, you skip over the local outcry across Texas - common folks are finally demanding common sense immigration reform (not walls; not more security, etc.) and they express catholic social justice completely.
