400 hiding in Iowa Catholic church (illegals, Mexico, racist, citizens)

[Quirky Cynick]

I know that this somewhat older news, but did any of you see what the church was doing to help the illegals in this town? Disgusting really!

let them stay here, but make them the responsibility of the church. it probably wouldn't be so attractive if the federal funds went away and the church had to be 100% responsible for all their needs. eventually it gets expensive.

And; Mexico treats their illegals from Guatemala like crap as well.

Apparently; a good percentage of the Postville Ia illegals are from the latter nation.

it's funny. you read crap about this from the right, it's a criminal issue. on the left, it's a human interest story. good lord. no mercy. punish any of the enablers. that's it. no illegal could then complain if we don't single out them. if we single out the enablers, it's fine. oh, and also, someone please tell some of these hispanic women that condoms can be used for reasons other than to smuggle coke.

These churches that aide and abet criminals need to be stripped of their non-profit status IMHO.

Your approach actutually makes more sense than that of our Government.
I understand the whole Sanctuary City aspect from a Biblical view. When David's son killed his brother (in the O.T.), the son exscaped to such a city. If a Church chooses to follow this practice, fine, just make them responsible for their well being.

I could not agree more, nicolem!

Any organization aiding and abetting Common Criminals is NOT a church and should be paying taxes.

actually that was a joke from a comedy central roast. I guess those people are all racists too.

the problem is that we get the absolute poorest from other countries. with poverty comes crime. I am sure that a lot of these countries are glad to get rid of the poor citizens, but I have no reason to be glad to accept them.
