Is this conclusive proof that a major faith-based organization in the USA has decided to betray Americans and become their enemy...simply to line their own pockets with free government money?

BCFS = Baptist Children's and Family Services

When handed lemons make lemonade.....may as well show these kids the love of Jesus and give them a bit of protection against the liberal brainwashing they will soon be subjected to.

Realistically, nobody will have the political will and cojones to send them home. Would be kind of funny if a bunch of Ohomo’s undocumented democrats turned into conservative Christians, wouldn’t it?

Do 'grants' have to be approved by Congress; or has the grantor received a LARGE wad of money at the getgo and then parcels it out as it sees fit??

How about the Catholic Church?

....there was a town hall meeting last evening, emergency meeting called by our local parish priest, ordered by our bishop (unintelligible) and the Archdiocese of San Bernardino. They have made the decision that they're going to absorb the immigrants that are coming through because the federal government called the bishop's office on Monday and they're gonna be busing these immigrants to our communities and asking us to open our homes and to house them for up to a month. The church will reimburse us for any out-of-pocket expenses....

I believe BCFS no longer has anything to do with the Baptist faith.

As a charity, it appears to be about 99.4% dependent upon government grants.

In other words, it's simply a part of the non-profit network that services the liberal agenda.

For those of you who would like to call President Obama about his illegal immigrant amnesty, the White House hotline number is 202-456-1111.

I can say this.

We have a yearly neighborhood garage sale.

I’ve made $1100, $700, and other lesser sums getting rid of stuff from kids moving up and out, Euro military tours, and other out and backs.

This year we took a lot of time and effort. No one came. guys down the street were selling stuff $1 a piece regardless. Furniture, apppliances etc.

They had so manycars all day.

We sat looking.

all the work we put in and we should’ve put it into a charity instead of sitting all day after arranging it.

All their customers were from the local Baptist Church. They and the neighbors were all for it, ‘they go to our church’

Well, fine. How about letting us know so we can make other arrangements.

Oh OHH Oh!!! you are so confrontational. You must be a yankee!

Sigh

I read this story and see a lot into it.

Not that I didn’t write a few choice words to the local priest over the illegals and their particular stand on that inspired by the USCCB

I’m just curious but are you yet another basher of non Catholic Christians here....I hope not

This organization is a subterfuge....an NGO with a sweet innocuous sounding name with ACORN intent

It has nothing to do with Southern Baptist Convention which is 90% of US Baptists

It may have slight connection to some black liberation Baptist National Convention

Not sure....

But it reeks of Friends of Obama and part of his overall amnesty democrat voters strategery

Tax the Churches. If they want taxpayers to pay for them, they need to pony up.
