The rhetoric on immigration during the presidential campaign season has struck fear into the hearts of many foreign-born families, and a new network of Minnesota churches is mobilizing to respond.
The Lutheran Church of the Redeemer on St. Paul’s Dale Street already maintains 22 shelter beds for the homeless in its basement, where families with no other place to go often spend the night on a temporary basis. The Rev. James Erlandson said those beds may soon serve a different purpose: offering sanctuary to those facing deportation.
“That’s a moral stand that we’ve taken,” Erlandson said. “We want to say: ‘Don’t increase deportations.’ Let’s fix our immigration system, and offer a path to citizenship so our neighbors don’t live in fear.”

Swell.
Put them in prison for violating immigration law.
“...offer a path to citizenship so our neighbors don’t live in fear.”
How about we offer a path to Mexico, where they won’t have to worry about being deported?
Nothing new. They were doing this back in the 1980’s in Arizona.
if they get caught doing this, spirit them out of the country too. Say somewhere in eastern Asia.
It’s Minnesota.
Not gonna happen.
Yes let’s fix the system by deporting all illegals and starting over. Give them six months to self deport and if they don’t go report on sight.
And a complementary butcher knife too?
Maybe the feds need to do the arresting.
Isnt that called “human trafficking”?
You may have just won the Internet.
Railroad to where? Canada? Another state? How about Mexico? That would work.
The overwhelming sentiment here appears to be Mexico.

no federal money too, and lose their tax status if they feel breaking the law is good for them.
The underground railroad was created to offer save passage OUT OF THE COUNTRY. So I guess if they want to help the illegal aliens safely leave the country that is OK. : )
Fine, funnel them into Canada.
The situation should never have come to this. A simple enforcement of immigration laws decades ago and there would be no problem now.
Are they going to railroad them to Canada?
