These churches need to shut up and mind themselves of the separation of church and state. Otherwise, they can just take their pathetic arses to Mexico.

I agree, however they will not shut up and remain in the pulpit, and the result should be the loss of their tax free entity. My pastor started the same thing at our church after service's downstairs in the social room he tried to get a number of people to attend one of these rallies for ILLEGALS, he got smacked down in a hurry by the members.

This isn't new. Remember the sanctuary movement during the Contra Wars of Central & South America in the '80's? The Catholic Church actively sought illegals from that region and had their more leftists priests in the forefront of the socialist/communist sympathizing demonstrations.

I said then and took a lot of grief from my in-laws, staunch Catholics, that the Catholics needed to lose the tax-free status. I still think that today, except the list of religious denominations that need tax law compliance scrutiny have increased. The Southern Baptists, Universal Unitarians, Lutheran's and now apparently, the Methodists need some introspection also.

There is technically no "separation of church and state" in our Constitution. However the Chuch has been invaded by liberals,and they never think laws apply to them. I can't recall the chapter or verse, but God clearly tells citizens to obey the laws of their government.

Liberals have a hard enough time following God's law.
