[LUCKY] SEVERSON: The solution the legislature came up with has caused quite a commotion. A federal judge temporarily blocked the enactment of House Bill 56 because of several lawsuits filed by four Alabama bishops of different denominations, the Justice Department, the ACLU, civil rights groups, joined by county sheriffs and 16 foreign governments. But some of the loudest protests came from church leaders like Pastor Angie Wright of the Beloved Community United Church of Christ.
PASTOR ANGIE WRIGHT: If I have ten undocumented persons in my church for an English-as-a-second-language class, or for worship, or vacation bible school. and I know that they’re undocumented, I can go to prison for 10 years and pay a $15,000 fine.
SEVERSON: In a nutshell, the bill, as it stands now, criminalizes working, renting, having false papers, shielding, harboring, hiring. and transporting undocumented immigrants. It also deprives them of most local public benefits. As it was intended, it punishes just about every aspect of illegal immigration.
Read or watch it all.

But it’s even more lawlessness for the states and localities to rush into this area. Make the federal politicians pay the price for their inaction at the polls and insist on federal immigration law reform. September 27, 7:23 pm | [comment link] |

The government is trying to tell us what we can or can’t do in terms of works of mercy, works of charity, which are fundamental to our faith.” Exodus 22:21 33 “When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. 34 You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. |

I sure wish I could pick and choose the laws I want to obey and the laws I want enforced.
September 27, 3:13 pm | [comment link]What we have is a foreign invasion and the abject failure of the federal government at all levels to enforce the law. A lawless government cannot expect respect for the law by it’s citizens.
