Welcome to the land of contradiction and opportunities.
I just remember when I was a young man, long time ago your predecessor the Saint Father John Paul II and his apostolic visit to my lovely Venezuela, I just remember the crow and the cheer of the people and the enthusiasm of the young people like me, but when the first day come up I couldn’t forget when he shake my hand and kiss my face, when he went down from the pulpit and talk directly and frankly with us, that was one of the most important momentum of my live. I just remember his words and his sorrows about the people who suffer and the injustices; I just remember his uncommitted love for the kids and young people.

Just days ago, I listening and washing TV when I see a commercial about your visit and some kind of specific instructions to go in to the one of your massive mass in Washington DC. Yes, I just being astonishing when I hear this condition for security reason: “You have to show some kind of Government ID or Federal ID” in A clear allusion to prevent the assistance of thousands of people who live in this country “UNDOCUMENTED” no because they want. NO Saint Father, because the system is special designed to keep this people in the dark, in the shadow. Yes Saint Father the majority of this people are Hispanic, Catholic people who can be comforted by your words and prayers. Thousand of families are banned with these decisions, special designed for this people. Of course the security of the Saint father when he visit any country it is a priority and main concern of the governments, as a part of this security when I was young man I know this action is an excess, It is well know in the government spheres, if you want to secure an bring security to the Saint Father, first at all, check for arms of any king of explosives, I see this before and I don’t understands why and ID become an impediment to see an listen the spiritual leader of million of Catholics around the word special when they are Hispanic the most affected community for this decision. I don think so this is the recommendations Of the Vatican.

Saint Father, as I said before, welcome to the land of contradiction and opportunities.

This word means the same in any language and any part of the world: “FOOTBALL” except this country where this world means another sport. SOCCER = FOOTBALL in this country.

This country of immigrants and part of these contradictions is those new immigrants are no longer welcomed.

This is a country who suffer the most terrible act of terrorism, and now, security is one of the main concern and has to be one of the main concern of any government in the future, but when this measure trespass the line of the reasonable and invade the privacy and become always aggressive, intrusive, and racist. That policy becomes inconsistent and ineffective.

Security is another word Saint Father, part of the contradiction of this great country. It means in this part of the world HIDDEN PEOPLE but in the rest of the world UNHIDDEN PEOPLE.

There are more than twelve million people suffer as a consequences of this incongruence. There are million of families suffering the abuse of the system as I said before special designed to keep this people on the shadow. People who is subject to the most horrible man hunting for the authorities, father’s and mother’s who can’t rest any more at night for the fear of some one from the ICE come up and knock the door and deport him / her ore the entirely family. Hard workers subject to exploitation for employer’s because they don’t have documents, people subject for any kind of discrimination, like the banned imposed for your visit (WHY THEY DON’T ASK FOR GOVERNMENT ID OR FEDERAL ID AT THE DOORS OF THE STADIUMS TO THE PEOPLE WHO CAME TO SEE THEIR FAVORITES TEAM OF BASEBALL OR BASKETBALL). Father and Mother who don’t see grow his kids, because the plutocracy doesn’t want to speed the process of million and million of application well sustained in the immigration process. That result intolerable, special if they want to know who really they are. Its well knows people are waiting more than TEN YEARS in his immigration process.
Where is the justice on this?

This is the most powerful country of the word, with his own problems, yes, no doubt about that, but this is the country were the most advance technology is in place and the most advance systems of computing and networking are in place too. A country that is able to count million of votes in less than one day automatically. A country who is able to send radio signals to robots out of our planetary solar system.

There are the technology necessary to resolve this issue but for some politician NO.
They want for SECURITY REASON this people on the shadow.

It is a contradiction about security reason, because the best practice for security reason in this situation is KNOW, who they are, how many, where they come from and so on.

Saint Father, finally I would like you to include in your words and prayers these innocent people who are suffer, those families living under fears, those kids crying for her father and mother when they are deported without any considerations and those brave people who every morning wake up early and walk the streets to get the first bus no matter the inclemency of the weather because the government think they are possible terrorist and can't allow a valid driver license. One of the most insane and racist laws, pass in these years, for SECURITY REASON.

One more time Saint Father Benedict XVI
Welcome to the United Stated of America
God Bless You!
