Hope "Grupo Romo" does criminal background and health checks./s

Too bad our gutless leadership wouldn’t see this as an oportunity to easily round up some illegals for deportation.

Well, if the illegal immigrants are going to come in and spread tuberculosis and leprosy, I suppose this could be seen as our “first line of defense”. Not wishing anything on them, they volunteered for the job.

I can see how it honors God to help poor immigrants who entered this country legally. Our local church does so.

On the other hand, it seems to me to be Scripture twisting to ignore the passages that teach being subject to authorities and scoff at this country's immigration laws and harbor illegal aliens who are really fugitives. Note that in this country even illegal aliens are granted due process.

“We respect the laws of this country,” said Gomez, who’s originally from Monterrey, Mexico. “We’re not promoting illegal immigration or any kind of sanctuary movement.”

Here is a perfect example of a boldfaced lie.

The activists, all Catholics, are trying to organize a network of places and services that migrants can tap for help.

The catholics have a lot of taxable church property, time to tax it!

Ping!

If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.

Here are some real faith-driven criteria:

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL.
It is sin to steal using anchor babies and other tricks to get—or give for votes—free Health & Welfare benefits.

THOU SHALT NOT COVET.
Be grateful; do not envy what’s not yours.

THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS.
Don’t lie and perjure or accept fraudulent documents.

The group named it for Toribio Romo, a Mexican priest killed in the 1920s and later canonized as a saint. Many unauthorized border crossers invoke him when praying for successful passage into the United States.

Praying for a Saint to aid in criminal activity? Just what part of Catholicism is that based on?

Faith Based institutions are key to the demographic warfare being waged by Mexico on the USA.

Here is a list of them, just so you know who they are:

**********************************************

Amazing how "churches" care more about filling the pews than they do about the thousands upon thousands of Americans killed by illegals since 9/11.>>>>>>>>>>>

In truth you speak. The Interfaith Council has put billions of dollars into Illegal immigrant assitance over the last twenty years. There is compassion and then there is IDIOT COMPASSION!( a liberal affectation). They are the lobbying group that has The President and the RINOs fawning all over them on illegal aliens! They wage demographic warfare on the United States, under the banner of Marxist socialist Liberation Theology!

Who are they? Take a gander:

QUOTE:

We, the undersigned faith-based leaders and organizations, join together to call upon President Bush and our elected officials in Congress to enact comprehensive immigration reform legislation that establishes a safe and humane immigration system consistent with our values. Our diverse faith traditions teach us to welcome our brothers and sisters with love and compassion.

UNQUOTE

The result of the Roman Catholic foundation movement is here, among many other religious institutions whose liberal values represent a multicultural agenda, and a complete social change for the United States, and the devolution of our culture of freedom through immigration for immigrants who have no intended allegiance to the United States or its constitution:

“If immigrants need help, we will do all we can to help them out.”

"If ~~immigrants~~ illegal aliens need help, we will do all we can to help them out.”

(There...fixed it...sure wish they'd learn to distinguish between those playing by the rules and those who ignore them...)

“Toribio Romo, a Mexican priest killed in the 1920s and later canonized as a saint. Many unauthorized border crossers invoke him when praying for successful passage into the United States.”

I also invoke a *Romo* when praying on Sunday afternoons.

St. Anthony Romo

Isn’t it more Christ-like to help them in their homelands, rather than assist them in illegally entering this country?

If Christian missionaries are spreading the gospel to every tribe and every nation, they have to go to other lands to do it, not sit in America and have everyone come to here to hear “the good news”.
