Oddly, this is the one form of sanctuary for illegal immigrants (or other law-breakers) to which I have no objection. It is a customary right as old as Christendom. If a church offers sanctuary to anyone then the church is obliged to provide sustenance for them and they are obliged to stay within the precincts of the church or the civil arm can arrest them and apply the law should they stray from the church grounds.
There would be very little illegal immigration to the U.S. with the exception of refugees whose status as such the Federal government is unwilling to recognize were the only way a person illegally in the U.S. could stay was invoking the ancient right of sanctuary.
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.
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.
