If these people want these people to stay in the US so badly, why aren’t they willing to pay for the expense out of their own pockets?
Groups condemn immigration raids
Immigrant advocates and two local religious leaders said Thursday they would launch a program to offer sanctuary to illegal immigrants if the federal government continues to raid work sites and deport individuals without fixing its immigration system.
Several groups’ representatives, including a Catholic bishop, called a news conference to denounce Wednesday’s raids at two United Parcel Service warehouses in Auburn, where agents arrested 51 immigrants they believe are in the country illegally.
At Thursday’s news conference, advocates and religious leaders called for a moratorium on such raids until Congress can reform the nation’s immigration system. Without a halt, El Comité Pro-Amnistia, an immigrant justice group, said it would announce the launch of a local sanctuary by the end of March as part of a national effort.
“We don’t know that our call for a moratorium will be unsuccessful,” said the Very Rev. Robert Taylor, dean of St. Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral Church.
Taylor, who came to the U.S. as a political exile from South Africa, revealed that he lived as an illegal immigrant for three years during the 1980s. “If there is no response, then sanctuary is the next step.”
Hmm. “El Comité Pro-Amnistia”?
I wonder what kind of immigration “reforms” would make them happy?
It’s nice that Taylor came here from South Africa, even if he had to live illegally for a time, but none of the people he is protecting is a “political exile” or anything of the sort.
And I notice that nowhere in the article does he offer to pay for these people’s living expenses. He is willing to make his parishoners pay for it, but his own wages will probably see very little change.
It is like Washington State Representative, Mark Miloscia, who is attempting to push a bill through that would free up churches so that they have little to no requirements to meet in order to set up “Tent Cities”
The discord between faith organizations and cities over temporary homeless encampments prompted Rep. Mark Miloscia, D-Federal Way, to introduce a bill that would make it unlawful for cities to keep faith communities from hosting the encampments. The bill also states that no jurisdiction shall impose a maximum stay of fewer than 90 days.
“We’ve got this ongoing fight between cities and churches,” Miloscia said. “It’s still going on; it hasn’t settled down.”
The churches sem to have no qualms with pissing off any members who might disagree or their neighbors by setting tent cities on their property.
Drug use and other minor property crime rates rise when these shitholes come to town and even the homeless advocates cannot deny that the same people just sort of follow these encampments around.
This isn’t “helping people” and it isn’t “charity”. It is justification of a chosen lifestyle, enabled and perpetuated by groups of gullible idiots who think they’re doing something good.
Unfortunately for the people and families that have to live next to these things, which will be exactly what will happen if the “pro-amnesty” idiots don’t get their way, the “good” the churches are doing is making themselves feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
These people chose to come here illegally. Perpetual homelessness is a choice.
If people would stop treating the illegals and the “homeless” nicely, they would have less incentive to do what they do.
