Deport ALL illegal aliens, WHEREVER they are from, HOWEVER long they have been here.
They’ve been here since the ‘90s without getting proper documentation, and were hiding on church grounds?
Almost 30 years here?
“Render unto Caesar...”
What kind of Church would shelter someone who is breaking the Federal law of the USA?
Employing a person in this country illegally is a crime. Charge the church officials.
L
and 15 of those years they’ve been “in the wind” hiding from authorities to evade arrest and deportation. Being able to successfully evade authorities for 15 years does not make your case stronger nor is it a point in your favor.
Use RICO and seize and auction the grounds
Jesus said to render unto to God that which is God’s and unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s. Seems like the United Methodist Church wasn’t willing to give up their cheap labor to Caesar so Caesar went and got them. This is the same United Methodist Church that is in a very divisive internal debate about embracing homosexuality and same sex marriage among other matters contrary to the Bible. One UMC church near my home has divorced themselves from the UMC and it appears many others will.
I am a United Methodist.
Idiocy like this is why it will soon no longer be “United”.
And what does the Bible say?
Romans 13 - Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.
I guess I missed the part about church grounds being sacred to the law.
