He was jailed for assisting illegal immigrants find temporary shelter. Like any good Christian would have done.

It seems you're suggesting if we all don't protect, harbor, transport, and provide aid to illegal aliens, we are not good Christians?

Is this right?

Not at all. I was referring to the rite of Sanctuary.

Dictionary: sanctuary

1. A sacred place, such as a church, temple, or mosque.
2. The holiest part of a sacred place, as the part of a Christian church around the altar.

2. 1. A sacred place, such as a church, in which fugitives formerly were immune to arrest.
2. Immunity to arrest afforded by a sanctuary.

3. A place of refuge or asylum.

4. A reserved area in which birds and other animals, especially wild animals, are protected from hunting or molestation. See synonyms at shelter.
