Church network offers sanctuary to illegal immigrants avoid deportation
The Washington Times ^ | September 24, 2014 | By Stephen Dinan

A network of two dozen churches has promised to offer “physical sanctuary” to illegal immigrants facing deportation, saying they want to create a safe haven that federal officials won’t invade.

Dubbed Sanctuary 2014, the movement consists of 24 churches in 12 cities scattered across the country that have vowed to open their doors to holding illegal immigrants facing deportation.

One of those is Rosa Robles Loreto whom the government has ordered deported.

“She will remain until the day that she can safely return to doing what she loves most — cheering for her 8- and 11-year-old boys at their Little League games.”

I'd like these "churches" to cite chapter and verse authorizing their breaking the law and assisting in doing the same.

Ceasar's picture is still on the coin (Constitution, Law, etc.) and Jesus' command is clear.

Obviously the created worships and obeys the created ... not the creator.

Sound okay to me as long as there aren’t any voting machines in the church basements. This is just a stupid show biz stunt because sadly enough nobody gets deported anyway. Probably a feel good stunt by Democrats to get Hispanic votes.

Wouldn’t this action fall under the RICO statues?

This is trickle-down treason.

More proof that when “leadership” practices treason, it gives a green light to leftists everywhere to follow suit.

“physical sanctuary”

“She will remain until the day that she can safely return to doing what she loves most — cheering for her 8- and 11-year-old boys at their Little League games.”

Ok fill them up and post a guard. Make living at the
“physical sanctuary” a life sentence. In the meantime
arrest Rev. Harrington and the rest for aiding and abetting
criminal activity.

Poor Rosa Robles Loreto can see her little 8 and 11 year old
wards of the state be adopted or deported.

This is trickle-down treason.

Another example, Lois Lerner. Anyone who thinks that
the Obama didn’t give her the nod to do what she did
is an ignorant fool. The same goes for this “physical sanctuary”
mess. The thing to do is to round up all parties
involved and prosecute. But then that would be
Eric Holders job.

And they are correct, "federal officials" will not enter churches to arrest criminal Mexicans but the day is near when they will shut down churches for politically incorrect preaching.

Churches that are involved in politics need to start paying taxes.

Now that’s a thought.....a preacher who does some politically incorrect preaching but has a soft spot for a few illegals so this church gives them shelter.What would a liberal federal official do...shut down a church for incorrect speech but in the process leave some illegals homeless and unsheltered? Talk about bad optics!

The big denominations have been working on this, planning, organizing, petitioning Congress (at the behest of ???, certainly not the Bible), for 10-15 years.

They sold out to new world order many decades ago.

These churches have sold their souls. Close them and/or tax them. What anti-American a**es.

What are you talking about? Ceasar has already said it is OK! He is encouraging more of the same as we speak.
