I agree with the pres on this one... There are a bunch of illegals that go to my church and they seem like good people who are just looking for a better life. The truth of the matter is that I would do the same thing if I was them. They aren't hurting anyone for the most part.

Just warning you that you will be considered a "traitor to a traitorius church" by some on FR.

Except the people who want to come legally, and those of use who have to pay for their medical care via emergency rooms, public education, and other gov't services ...

PS - I'm married to a LEGAL immigrant - don't play the race card with me ...

This is the problem. You don't see the crime associated with illegal immigration at least not on the magnititude that those of us living on the border do. You don't see the welfare fraud. You don't see illegals getting preferential treatment over Americans at colleges and universities. There is a very good reason why those of us that live with the problems of illegal immigration oppose Bush's GWP and it has nothing to do with racism. Unfortunately, you along with others on FR are probably going to have to experience it first hand to believe it.

Here in the Northeast, we're being overrun by Muslim illegals (as well as Latino illegals.) Illegal Tunisians and Moroccans were staffing security at the Boston airport on 9/11. Makes you think.

All illegals don't go to church. They don't all have good "family values." The bottom line is that WE HAVE NO CONTROL over who is in this country. Our borders are totally unsecure.

An open border is the handmaiden of terrorism.

Check our nations crime stats. You'll find that the observation of few illegals in your church is not a representative sample.
