OUR VIEW: Utah Compact a pragmatic call
The Ogden Standard Examiner ^ | 11/15/2010 | Standard-Examiner Editorial Board

Posted on 11/16/2010 4:52:10 AM PST by Utah Binger

The decision by the leadership of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to endorse the Utah Compact, a document that urges states to stay out of the illegal immigration issue, is likely a pragmatic call for Utah's predominant religion. Many of the church's Hispanic members in the U.S. are illegals. LDS leaders want to see that their rights are protected.

It's our opinion that the decision by the LDS Church makes sense. The federal government's failure to do something about illegal immigration, as well as the business community's passive-aggressive support of the cheap, exploitable labor pool, is worthy of disgust and outrage. Nevertheless, states and local governments do not have the resources or, in many cases, training to solve the problem of millions of illegals staying in the U.S.

They must need a few more illegal missionaries out there.

What is pragmatic about allowing an invasion of your state to occur without taking action to prevent it?

If your goal is to completely overload the system from every conceivable angle in order to bring about a total economic and societal collapse, then it is very pragmatic.....

There is more to this than meets the eye. For instance, it seems converts are more important than legal immigration to the church.

Mormonism, Inc. is hemorrhaging born-in-the-church members right and left, as DNA and IT technological discoveries overthrow its Smith-born lies and invented history. The Council of The Twelve wants new fresh blood and illegal immigrants will do just fine, thank you very much.

Oh well, the COJCOLDS will just have to settle for being a little less “white and delightsome”, now won’t it?

;^)

The 12-headed council looked at the bottom-line.

But the internet has begun to inform us fifth generation heritage types of the truth. We are free of the 12 headed monsters.

Wow. Can this be substantiated? And how do they wring money out of them?

The whole issue is about slavery, and the article describes the LDS taking action to embrace it.

Hmmm ~ they used to make a lot of noise about the Union calling on the Mormons for help crushing slavery.

So, guys, is this another big doctrinal switcheroo or what?

In Utah, numbers equal power.
To the Bankers, Developers and Utilities, and mostly the to LDS church, where increasing numbers enables its growth from 19th century cult to mainstream status.
