Agreed.
Sanctuary in a house of worship? Fine. Private funds paying for non-compliance of law as political protest is as old as the hills.

ALL who enter or exit required to produce identification as the immediate surrounding PUBLIC areas are a CRIME scene under police, federal control. No intrusion on constitutional rights.
If the Illegals step out, arrest them and deport them.

"the affiliated Church World Service" surely has a list of it's members.

A citizens committee could simply raid each of them and put the "protected" out on the street.

Yes, I said enter the church and remove the illegal with the minimum amount of force required.

OF COURSE legal authorities could do this as well. There is NO LAW which protects a congregation which harbors law breakers.

"a person illegally in the U.S. could stay was invoking the ancient right of sanctuary"

There is no such right under law.

A better alternative would be to offer a reward to those who turn in others conspiring to violate the law and the prosecution of those who do.

Yes, raid churches who are breaking the law, and prosecute.

Some pastors are really naive morons.

If the Illegals step out, arrest them...

That was the custom when the ancient right of sanctuary was invoked.

There is no such right under statutory law. There is such a right in common law.

Agree. Obama has likely ordered DHS to pick out a few dozen families with kids about 6-11 years old (still cute, but old enough to plead in English to the TV crews) to hold up as “victims of unfair immigration rules”.

Almost zero immigration enforcement for seven years, and then lo and behold, in the year of the election, Obama discovers immigration law. This is so obvious.
