We’ve seen many hispanics not attending church services here in NW Arkansas (all denominations) supposedly due to fear of ICE and immigration enforcement.

And this is all out of sheer ignorance and blatant scare tactics by the radically-Left sanctuary city type Marxists. They have intentionally (with the help of major media) scared the crap out of Hispanics. ICE has not, nor have they ever, used churches to find and arrest/deport illegals. Yet the LEFT loves scare tactics - and its working.

Maybe youdon't see it, but the Catholic church is not the only religious organization defending and supporting illegals and to imply or state otherwise is either ignorance or bias.

“fear of ICE”
Fear of the law. Fear of justice finally catching up with them. Fear of us, finally, after a quarter-century of skating.

The illegals won’t make bogeymen out of federal LEOs actually trying to do their jobs, to enforce the law.
ICE isn’t the FBI, IRS or CIA.
ICE has actual fidelity, integrity and courage, after serving for decades as a whipping boy for the open borders Uniparty scofflaws.

Pure b.s. propaganda, courtesy of the Mediascum.

As with many demographically transformed neighborhoods, the church has probably been bereft of its traditional sources of donations and attendance for a long time. A lot of churches shut down when they can no longer sustain themselves.

The real reason is the Catholics are harboring illegal aliens.

Well sure, and the Leftards love to separate people from their religion.... especially if it is viewed as the least bit traditional or conservative.

So are they so stupid they think that La Migra can find them at All Saints but not at St. Gabriel? Or do they think we are so stupid that we will buy the Papist lies?

They can’t. It’s all about coin in the coffers. Same way parishes in NY and Boston turned a blind eye to blatant support and fundraising for the terrorist IRA in the 70’s and 80’s by the AOH and KofC chapters served by their Priests.

Maybe Catholics should stop encouraging illegal behavior.

Doesn't the Catholic Church teach that lying, stealing and coveting are sins? How then can the Church condone the sins of the illegals. The Church is leading the illegals to eternal Hell and damnation.

And the Baptists, Protestants, Lutherans, etc., etc. etc.

Most of those denominations don't have services in Spanish. They expect that the people attending speak English.

#30 Not only that, they spend all their effort getting the parasites signed up for every local, state and federal “assistance” they can.

Then to mask their theivery, they report to the public all these bloodsuckers are self saficient.

“Maybe Catholics should stop encouraging illegal behavior.”

I hear yah. The wife is staunch anti-Catholic as she knows a few that literally live in sin, go to confession, feel better, and keep on sinning. I think of the Mafia folks myself as an example.

“people are even nervous about being able to get up in the morning and go to church.”

They wouldn’t be so nervous if they were getting up in Meh-e-coh City to go to church .... nervous about being unarmed and gunned down by the cartels or Mexcan Federales possibly.
