RE: The pastor’s statement calls for the enactment of a temporary worker program... there is already one in place.
So what’s the problem with re-stating it ? If there is already one in place, all they’re doing is re-stating their support for it. Is this lawless ? Not in any way.
RE: Seal the borders. Fix the system, including a requirement to learn English. Kick out the criminals.
Yep, that sounds like a brief summary of what these pastors are asking for.
I don’t see anything they propose that’s radical or lawless at all.
George Whitefield, so sorry. I need to get my stuff in one sock.
MINUS_THE_BEAR is just misinformed and he is showing it with every post he makes.
I cited a source to correct his views. See Post #40.
I can provide more authoritative sources to show that Evangelicals OVERWHELMINGLY VOTED AGAINST OBAMA ( opposite to what he alleged ).
Deport the pastors along with the illegal aliens after they strip them of their tax exempt status and fine the hell out of them for harboring criminals!!
They are just as criminal as the illegals!
OK, you’ve corrected the name to George Whitefield. Almost Everyone knows who he is. Next question -— what does he have to do with the topic of this thread ?
Thanks.
“Would it be OK if these Pastors came together collectively and spoke as American Citizens who happen to be Pastors ?”
Not as long as they are pastors and represent a church!
RE: Deport the pastors along with the illegal aliens after they strip them of their tax exempt status and fine the hell out of them for harboring criminals!!
Which pastors are you referring to ? Surely it can’t be the ones who drafted this declaration :

Any church that even mentions politics should be stripped of their tax exempt status!
RE:
I am not going to get into an argument with an Amnesty troll.
Obviously you want open borders or you back one of these churches because they will prey off of the people they will smuggle over the border by the use of human traffickers.
Obviously you haven’t even bothered to READ the Declaration which in its very first step CALLED FOR PROTECTING OUR BORDERS FIRST.
This is the demand of MOST AMERICANS.
Secondly, you accused most Evangelicals of being so ill informed that they overwhelmingly voted for Obama when in fact, the OPPOSITE was true. You have in effect shown your ignorance regarding this matter.
And you have to the gall to call me a troll ?? YOU ARE THE TROLL.
RE: I believe that people who obey the law should be rewarded. I used to think that Christians believed that as well. But they are just in it for the money
The Declaration calls for REWARDING PEOPLE WHO OBEY THE LAW WITH SPEEDY PROCESSING OF THEIR APPLICATIONS ( see Step 2 ).
Did you even bother to read and understand the document at all ?
If they harbor an illegal, or care for them in any way they are just as criminal as the aliens.
Promoting compassion is just as criminal.
RE: Any church that even mentions politics should be stripped of their tax exempt status!
Are issues like Abortion, Homosexuality and Gay Marriage considered politics ?
Absolutely!
Promoting anything but prison and deportation of an illegal alien is criminal!
RE: If they harbor an illegal, or care for them in any way they are just as criminal as the aliens.
Promoting compassion is just as criminal.
That is a big IF. You have to prove that first.
“Are issues like Abortion, Homosexuality and Gay Marriage considered politics ?”
As far as i’m concerned they are.
Keep it inside the church and keep their mouths shut outside of it!
