"HR 4437 does not criminalize humanitarian assistance, nor does it criminalize anyone who is unaware of a criminal alien's unlawful presence in our country, nor does it criminalize a priest ministering communion.
This is pure sensationalism designed to sway those without the ability or desire to educate themselves on its provisions. Only knowingly aiding and abetting someone who is here illegally to remain here in defiance of the law is illegal.

I suspect that most here making those types of claims are full aware of their basic falsehood.

As a Catholic, I am ashamed to see such blatant misbehavior by my own church's hierarchy.
No apologies needed.
