“It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”
Gov. Jeff Landry, R-La., vetoed $1 million in state funds for an emergency homeless shelter run by Catholic Charities of Acadiana over the organization's work with migrants, he acknowledged in press statements.
Landry said that he vetoed the funds for the largest homeless shelter in Lafayette, Louisiana, because its operator, Catholic Charities of Acadiana, works with migrants. The governor, a Catholic, alleged Catholic Charities facilitates illegal immigration, a charge the Catholic Church's charitable arm denied.
In a statement provided to local media outlet KATC, Landry said, "As you can see from their website, part of Catholic Charities' mission is to support the influx of illegal aliens into our country. Taxpayers should never foot the bill for nonprofits who are contributing to the illegal immigration crisis our nation is facing."
But when accessed July 3, the Catholic Charities of Acadiana website stated, "Our Immigration Services provides low-cost legal aid services to immigrants, and newcomers to this country, all within the confines of the law."
"These services allow clients an opportunity to contribute and participate more fully in our communities," the website states, and lists legal forms they provide migrants assistance with, including Temporary Protected Status and work authorization forms.
