Popes Speech

   In the Pope's speech to congress he talks about immigration. He is saying we should appreciate and treat them the same. When he talks about immigration he brings up the Golden Rule. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." The golden rule reminds us of our responsibilities to protect and defend human life at every stage of its developments. He states we should not turn our backs on our neighbors instead we should be welcoming them. He also reminds them they were once foreigners and that there families came her for a better life. He says building a nation calls us to recognize that we must constantly relate to others, rejecting a mind set of hostility in order to adapt one of reciprocal subsidiarity in a consent effort to do our best. He wants everyone to be treating the same.
  In his speech he also talks about how family is important to America and how essential the family has been to the building of this country. Fundamental relationship are being called into question, as is the very basis of marriage and the family. He is saying no matter how the families are formed the only important and above all is the richness and the beauty of the family life. He also talks about the young he says for many of them a future filled with countless possibilities beckons, yet so many other seem disoriented and aimless, trapped in a hopeless maze of violent, abuse and despair. He says their problems are our problems and we need face them together and talk to them to seek effective solutions rather than bogged down in discussion.
   In The Washington Post article Pope Francis implores to accept immigrants as their own by Marc Fisher, Michelle and Steve Hendrix agree with what the pope. I agree with the pope also everything is true we should treat them the same and stop treating them bad.
