You still have them, and in no way will changing the subject to illegal immigration remove the issue of blacks in the LDS Church.

But, nice try. I’ll give you a “B” for effort.

My daughter-in-law is the child of illegal immigrants. They live in an entirely immigrant neigborhood in Herndon Virginia. They came to the US in the 1960’s from Guatemala. She has since become a citizen and her parents as well. She now serves proudly as a Sargeant in the US Army.

Most of her neighbors are still illegals. But this is not the topic at hand. If you have and immigration issue to discuss, I suggest you post an article.

The issue was quite clearly part of the discussion. The question was why there aren't enough blacks in Utah. Economics and history are pretty much the reasons. Currently Utah's politicians are standing in the way of resolving some of the economic problems ~ and all they have to do is initiate a movement to have employers (half of whom, at least, are Mormon) refuse to hire illegal aliens.

No doubt Souvrn' Baptists can get Utah's Baptists (the other half of the business community) to follow suit.

Besides, this thread starts with a business oriented publication (WSJ) making comments about race relations within the framework of Mormon theological history ~ and WSJ was ALSO in the camp of the Amnesty folks.

You can either defend WSJ's opinion piece, and all their social baggage (which includes Amnesty for illegal aliens) or you can condemn WSJ stepping into the world of theological dispute.

I prefer to keep WSJ where they belong ~ with their own people ~ the rich, stockholders, skibums, and out of church where they clearly don't belong.
