Novus Ordo: Mexicans who help build Trump wall 'traitors,' top Archdiocese says
Novus ordites loves their new world order multiculturalism
Mexicans
who help build U.S. President Donald Trump's planned border wall would
be acting immorally and should be deemed traitors, the Catholic
Archdiocese of Mexico said on Sunday, turning up the heat on a simmering
dispute over the project.
In
a provocative editorial, the country's biggest Archdiocese sought to
increase pressure on the government to take a tougher line on companies
aiming to profit from the wall, which has strained relations between
Trump and the Mexican government.
"Any
company intending to invest in the wall of the fanatic Trump would be
immoral, but above all, its shareholders and owners should be considered
traitors to the homeland," said the editorial in Desde la fe, the
Archdiocese's weekly publication.
On
Tuesday, Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo warned firms it would not
be in their "interests" to participate in the wall. But the editorial
accused the government of responding "tepidly" to those eyeing the
project for business.
A
spokesman for the Archdiocese, which centers on Mexico City and is
presided over by the country's foremost Roman Catholic cleric, Cardinal
Norberto Rivera, said the editorial represented the views of the
diocese.
Trump
says he wants to build the wall to stop illegal immigrants from
crossing the U.S. southern border. He has pledged Mexico will pay for
the wall, which the Mexican government adamantly says it will not do.
The Desde la fe editorial, which was published online, said the barrier would only feed prejudice and discrimination.
"In
practice, signing up for a project that is a serious affront to dignity
is shooting yourself in the foot," it wrote. Mexican cement maker Cemex
has said it is open to providing quotes to supply raw materials for the
wall but will not take part in the bidding process to build it.
Grupo
Cementos de Chihuahua, another company specializing in construction
materials, has also signaled readiness to work on the project.
