So is the church going to start defending all criminals in their moments of desperation so no one will be jailed?
Any church that participates in this type of activity should lose its tax exempt status. Additionally, the priest, ministers and other church elders and officials should stand trial for aiding criminal activity.
Lou Dobbs Tonight
Wednesday, August 16, 2006
Join Lou for an hour of news, debate and opinion. Tonight, can
an outspoken immigration advocate hide from Immigration and
Customs Enforcement in a church?
We’ll have a full report tonight on an illegal alien and major
advocate for other illegal aliens that has taken refuge at a
local church to try and avoid deportation herself. Elvira
Arellano says she will continue to fight to stay in this
country with her seven-year-old son, who is a U.S. citizen.
Immigration officials say she is now considered a fugitive from
the law and that they will carry out deportation at time and
place of their choosing.
We'll also continue to bring you the latest developments in the
case of two U.S. border patrol agents who are facing 20 years
in prison for enforcing border security. Tonight, the president
of the National Border Patrol Council, T.J. Bonner, tells us
how he's defending the agents against outrageous prosecution.

They're deporting ducks now? How odd.
Why would anyone want to deport ducks?
Oh! Nevermind. :)
Agreed.
Illegal entry into this country by violating border crossing laws causes families to be split. Nothing more. A bank robber would not be allowed to cower in a church, why this bi+ch?
~ping
Tis my pet name for her too ;)
Good story! We should start with the activists leaders and work our way down. This woman is a felon by our current laws.
Danged LaRaza and the libs!
They just forget they are and have committed felonies...I'd love a job at O'Hare but I got papers, they don't want me!
House Committees Discuss Impact of Illegal Immigration on Cost to the State and the American Worker
The Senate Immigration Bill Rewards Lawbreaking: Why the DREAM Act Is a Nightmare
It is no secret that the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 (S. 2611), passed by the U.S. Senate on May 25, 2006, contains numerous provisions that reward illegal aliens for violating federal immigration law. What is less well known is that the Senate bill also condones the violation of federal law by 10 U.S. states. Indeed, S. 2611 expressly shields these states from liability for their past violations of federal law.

House Committee Continues to Discuss Impact of Illegal Immigration on Health Care
On August 10, 2006, the House Energy and Commerce Committee held a hearing in Brentwood, Tennessee to discuss the impact of illegal immigration on health care. On August 15, 2006, the hearing continued, with concern over costs to legal residents in the U.S.
The three panels testified before the committee. The panels included Senator Casey Cagle, Georgia State Senate; Representative Chip Rogers, Georgia State House of Representatives; Senator Curt Thompson, Georgia State Senate; Representative John Lunsford, Georgia State House of Representatives; Mrs. B.J. Walker, Commissioner, Georgia Department of Human Resources; Ms. Jean Sheil, Director, Family and Children’s Health Program, Center for Medicaid and State Operations; Mr. James E. Gardner, Jr., President & Chief Executive Officer, Northeast Georgia Health System; Mr. Charles Stewart, Chief Executive Officer, Hutcheson Medical ; Dr. Marty Michaels, Chair of the Georgia Chapter; American Academy of Pediatrics; Abel C. Ortiz, Health and Human Service Policy Advisor, Office of Governor Sonny Perdue.
State Representative Chip Rogers explained that "It is in fact the states that pay for those particular services most demanded by the illegal population including education, law enforcement and, today's topic, health care services." Mr. Stewart brought up another problem, saying "Another issue that hospitals face in emergency departments is the growing number of births to illegal aliens. It is documented that in some states, more than half of emergency Medicaid expenditures were for labor and delivery services." Mr. Ortiz reiterated the points of the panel and the need for stricter document requirements, stating "Federal law requires that taxpayer-funded benefits be limited to those who are lawfully in the United States and the income verification requirement serves as an additional check for legal U.S. citizenship."
