Methodist bishop whose church ‘aids’ illegal immigrants claims US is ‘raping Central America and leaving societies in shambles’

  • Minerva Carcano spoke to the House Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee
  • Her United Methodist Church has ‘failed to discourage illegal immigrants’
  • Receives at least $7.6million in three years to help unaccompanied children
  • Bishop claims the U.S. has ‘undermined’ countries and left them in poverty

A bishop whose church has been accused of ‘aiding and abetting’ illegal immigrants has claimed America is ‘raping’ other countries.   

Minerva Carcano appeared in front of the House Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee in Washington to discuss immigration and border security yesterday.

The Methodist, whose church has been given federal grants to help the refugee crisis, made the comment after being accused of welcoming immigrants, regardless of their status, by Virginia Republican Bob Goodlatte.

She told the subcommittee: ‘Immigrants want to stay home [but] they’re not able to stay home because we’ve undermined their economies. We have raped their lands.’

Bishop Carcano was then asked whether she would welcome the whole world’s population to the United States because it is one of the more ‘successful’ countries.

She continued: ‘I would restate that most immigrants want to stay home but they can’t feed their families.

‘We’re talking about Central Americans… who have come here because we have been involved in their economies in disastrous ways.

‘We have been involved in politics in ways that have undermined their countries and left their societies in shambles and in poverty.’

She was also questioned on whether the church is directly discouraging immigration – but she appeared to refuse to answer, adding: ‘We tell them how cruel the world is and how cruel immigration policies are in the United States as well.’

The hearing also heard the church’s Board of Child Care received more than $7million in federal grants in three years so it could house unaccompanied children.

Bishop Carcano appeared on behalf of the United Methodist Church as the row over immigration continues.

President Obama has previously ramped up efforts to help refugees fleeing violence in Central America.

But some have criticised him for the move, arguing that the country should not give the impression immigrants can arrive and just be allowed to stay.

  1. Koy is right, no we in I. And by the way it’s the CIA not the USA. I have no doubt we’ve trashed just about every thing of value in Central ( International) America, bitchin like that won’t do notta.

  2. This is crazy…..
    You take the pay off.
    Then complain.
    Unbelievable.
    This Bishop has DCS.
    Dirty Church Syndrome.
    Its like a pedophile in prison pointing at the rapist sharing his cell and calling him a scumbag.

  3. “….US is ‘raping Central America and leaving societies in shambles’ ”

    Well then why the hell are they coming here? We’re obviously bad people.
    Stay home, fix your country, and kick all the Americans out. (because we’re sure as hell going to kick you out of here)

  4. “A bishop whose church has been accused of ‘aiding and abetting’ illegal immigrants has claimed America is ‘raping’ other countries.”

    So allowing them to come here ILLEGALLY (by those same group of government traitors in the US who you say is “raping Central America and leaving societies in shambles” and who funded their trip here, mind you), “raping” our women and stealing our land, social security and other benefits is supposed to make it all better?

    I’m sorry, but TWO wrongs DON’T make a RIGHT!

    This bishop is a clear cut dumbass!
