All aboard! This train is heading for free showers.
Richard Land of SBC. Will keep Obamacare through eternity.
Sorry. Jesus Christ would not advocate breaking the law.
Theft is a sin, regardless of how cute and/or desperate the circumstances of the perpetrators...

Response: Our society is so badly divided that the on going Third World conquest is almost certain to be effectuated.
Just filling the pews and the COLLECTION PLATE! It’s all about money, as usual. It’s always about the money.
Screw it, open the border, let Obama have what he wants , ANOTHER door ready aiding the destruction of US of A. His policies lead right there, piece by piece, step by step.
That is the muslo-marxists goal.
Level the playing field, humble America. Spread the wealth....
All bow down to the nefarious one!
Don't these "bible scholars" know how often the Lord refers to borders & their integrity? It's no wonder He said that if He didn't cut these days short, even the elect might be deceived.
My message to Rev. Rodriguez is if you're pro-illegal immigration, you are anti-American.
A quote from the article:
““My message to Republican leaders,” said the Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, the president of the evangelical National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference and one of the leaders who engaged his non-Hispanic peers, “is if you’re anti-immigration reform, you’re anti-Latino, and if you’re anti-Latino, you are anti-Christian church in America, and you are anti-evangelical.” “
Lotta Scripture quotes in there, lots of exegetical study to make sure that what he says is faithful to God’s Word.

“I’ve had some older conservative leaders say: ‘Richard, stop this. You’re going to split the conservative coalition,’ ” Dr. Land continued. “I say it might split the old conservative coalition, but it won’t split the new one. And if the new one is going to be a governing coalition, it’s going to have to have a lot of Hispanics in it. And you don’t get a lot of Hispanics in your coalition by engaging in anti-Hispanic anti-immigration rhetoric.”
Matthew D. Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel, a conservative religious law firm
Mr. Staver. He said that deporting illegal immigrants violated the biblical imperative to welcome the stranger. “We’re going to break up families,” Mr. Staver said, “and I don’t see how you could claim to be pro-family and condone the separation of families.”
Mr. Staver was one of six evangelical leaders, including two prominent black evangelicals, who issued a statement last month advocating a comprehensive new law.
Rev. Bill Hybels of Willow Creek Community Church in Illinois
Rev. Richard D. Land, president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, the Southern Baptist Convention’s public policy arm
Three other evangelical pastors were in the audience, front and center.
“My message to Republican leaders,” said the Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, the president of the evangelical National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference and one of the leaders who engaged his non-Hispanic peers, “is if you’re anti-immigration reform, you’re anti-Latino, and if you’re anti-Latino, you are anti-Christian church in America, and you are anti-evangelical.”

Too many religious leaders are looking for sheeple to add to their flock. If people would think independently and quit looking at someone to follow, we'd all be better off.
Normally on the opposite side of political issues backed by the Obama White House, these leaders are aligning with the president to support an overhaul that would include some path to legalization for illegal immigrants already here.
____________________________________________________________
I feel as though I am living in some kind of alternate universe. We have a path to legal immigration. We have laws to deal with individuals who are here illegaly.
When pondering why the clergy would support any person breaking the law, I have to believe that there is some advantage to the clergy for that support. Pardon my skepticism, but these kinds of deals with the devil are usually a made on the basis of greed. I do not feel that the legitimate clergy would support illegal activity under the guise of any kind of “humane” argument.
Are we going to entrap another population of people with the “let me help you” straight into poverty and underacheivement line? I’ve always felt that if anyone owed raparations to black Americans, it was the people who smothered them with “programs” that took away the need to work and strive. Basically took away any chance to acheive and to experience the pride in that acheivement.
Now, we have the same scenario. For dollars, for votes a group of politicians and clergy are ready and willing to create another type of slave? They’re going to do it again? What a horror that we allow history to repeat itself and do not call out the kind of behavior that leads to this kind of dehumanization.
May God have little mercy on any clergy who participate in this.
Obama has no allies; only tools.
This is the stupid “social justice” Glenn Beck has been teaching us about.
These people are not “Christians” .. they are mamby-pamby shills for the Obama deception. Because it’s easier to believe that the illegals need to be sheltered instead of understanding - they are criminals.
What was it Jesus told us, “Be not deceived” - that means we are responsible for allowing somebody to deceive us.
