SAN ANTONIO — A group of faith-driven activists is trying to organize a network to help illegal immigrants who fear new local immigration-related laws and massive raids.

The advocates — all Catholic — hope to provide places to stay, food and health care for immigrants. They have a few families who have volunteered to host immigrants, but ultimately want to open a shelter.

If the project is successful, immigrants seeking sanctuary would simply need to ask for "Romo." ...

Hate to say it, but it looks like once again the Catholic CHurch in the U.S. will do anything for a buck.

What’s next, ads for Obama in the Sunday programs?

Looks like it’s time to start taxing churches.

Not all churches, just the ones trying to undermine the American way of life.

Should we send them the US Code section on harboring an illegal alien, or should we just let them find out themselves?

“A group of faith-driven activists is trying to organize a network to help illegal immigrants who fear new local immigration-related laws and massive raids.”

If they have a tax exempt status, yank it. Oh, and throw them in prison for aiding and abetting.

In addition to some Catholics, we have Quakers, some Methodists, some Episcopalians and others involved in this effort to actively subvert the laws of America.

Individual congregations which do this shold have thier churches shut down and those clerics and congregants involved arrested and charged as accessory to a crime.

faith-driven activists

The bible says, repeatedly, that Christian's are to obey the government in all lawful things, which includes the immigration laws. (Something like coerced abortion would be an exception, since it is murder). The people referenced are not "Christian" faith driven, but walk in willful sin to their own hurt and the hurt of those whom they are sheltering.

This is not a Catholic Church group. The Archbishop of San Antonio has spoken out against this group.

Right on, Keith! AND it’s time to hit them with breaking the felony aiding and abetting laws! Just think! That would stop the sanctuary movement cold, although it would mean raiding the churches, and the MNM would love to go after the Feds for that!

"Hey, don't blame the Catholic Church, they're just trying to turn America into a Catholic country."

Not to disrupt your little anti-Catholic pipe dream, but you might notice that a lot of PROTESTANT churches are doing the same things.

Many false ‘churches’ are being used as propaganda and anarchy fronts.

Do you have/can you start a list?

Wonder if they would do the same for an Islamic illegal. I mean, wouldn’t that be following the same ‘Christian’ principles they espouse? Sorry, ‘activists’, it is against the law and you all should be ashamed of yourselves.

*** Hey, don't blame the Catholic Church, they're just trying to turn America into a Catholic country. /sarc ***

Hey, don't blame the Jews. The ADL is just trying to turn America into an anti-Christian country and subvert our legal system and sovereignty as a nation.

And in the process labels anyone who disagrees with them and want our laws enforced as Nazis, Bigots, Extremists, Hate mongers, etc.

"ADL has in recent years taken a lead role in exposing the virulent anti-immigrant and xenophobic rhetoric that has risen to the surface as part of the national debate over immigration."

The League has:

This is the NATIONAL POLICY of the JEWISH ADL. At their website there's links to LAWSUITS they've filed across the USA to protect Illegals and undermine US Law and Sovereignty. The "Catholic Church" has no such policy and files no such lawsuits.

So who's turning the US into what.

/not sarc

Best to get all this in place when it comes time to deal with the muslims.
