ATLANTA -- A clergyman and five others are accused of taking more than $200,000 from illegal immigrants in exchange for helping them gain amnesty by lying about when they entered the United States.
An indictment unsealed May 18 says the defendants held meetings related to the scam in Brockton, Mass.; Boca Raton, Fla.; and at least twice at a Marietta, Ga., church where one of them, Ruy Silva, was the pastor.

to hear most "church leaders" around here in MN, it's our Godly duty to accept
every illegal into the country that we kind find.
I guess amnesty is next to godliness.
Who manages the behavior of the illegals once they get here, and who gets rid of the troublemakers?
Who is going to be so powerful in a few years that we may as well not have a Mayor or a Sheriff?
An article from December 9, 2005...Fear prods immigrants into expensive leap of hope
Word hurtled around the Brazilian community with lightning speed.
A woman from Georgia -- ''Pastor Emma," she called herself -- promised to show immigrants how they could remain in the United States legally under a 1986 amnesty law. So several hundred undocumented Brazilians flocked to the Radisson Hotel Brockton to hear her pitch.
I wonder what mr catholicfreeper, and sinkspur have to say about this.
Bwaahahaa
Mexico has had the red carpet rolled out to them for MANY years. Come one, come all, get free everything, take our jobs, bring in diseases, close our hospitals, overload our schools, and it's all OK because we need the "hispanic" vote. Regular Americans don't count anymore!
Not surprising that now they think they own America. They want to own it, but they want us to pay for it.
We can thank our traitorous politicians for the mess they've allowed to happen. Vote third party, surprise all of them. "Both" parties have sold us out!
More proof that any guest-worker or amnesty plan is a con game.
The FBI is gonna raid the Senate?
If the pubies trip on their di... uh, shoelaces, again.., I am voting third party (Constitution Party) after voting for President Bush twice. I encourage all who go on about "teach them a lesson and stay home" to get up, get in the car and go vote Constitution Party.
I want them to KNOW EXACTLY HOW MANY VOTES THEY LOST by simply not following RULE 1. I, as it is my generous and forgiving nature, will provide a rendition of all three Basic Rules for Government.
RULE 1... GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, YOU ARE HERE BY THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED.
RULE 2... Whenever Government becomes destructive to the Ends, OF Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.
RULE 3... It is the Duty OF THE GOVERNED to throw off a Government that produces a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations which evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism.
RULE 4... ANY attempt to suppress Rule 1 or Rule 2 results in the enforcement of Rule 3.
Everyone should read the CP platform, it's true American! I gave up on Bush after he refused to secure the borders after 9/11/01. That's when I turned to the Constitution Party, to send a message to the imbeciles in Washington.
