"host another woman" as in "hypocritically encourage breaking of already overgenerous U.S. immigration law."

Quick, someone post that picture of the “Geez, not this again” guy.

Jerk the church’s tax exempt status. This has nothing to do with spiritual matters and everything to do with breaking U.S. law, especially where it appears the woman had adequate due process of law. Besides, how can the woman support her family holed up in church? It is better to be poor and raising your own children than rich and an absent parent.

TAKE AWAY THEIR TAX EXEMPTION AND SUE THEM UNDER THE RICO LAW!!

I think this will fall under the purview of “render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s and unto God that which is God’s”. I expect He’ll handle this when its time is come.

Why should someone be able to “take refuge” in a church? They should just go in and arrest her if there is a warrant.

“...end undocumented labor...”

GO HOME!

Notice that they’re claiming that policies like NAFTA are “causing” illegal immigration, but they’re asking for amnesty rather than reversal or revision of those trade policies. I think that says something.

She's saying that you need to fix the system here."

This woman says she can't feed her three bastard children in Mexico, so we need to fix the system here?

When we build a wall and millions of them are starving then the system will be fixed and they can all thank people like her.

Church “sanctuary” has not existed legally since the 1680’s in England. Never in this country.

From what others have contributed, I gather quite a few of these lefty churches could be busted outright for “human trafficking” and their assets and property forfeited.

It would take only one or two such prosecutions to put the kibosh on these antics nationwide.

"I believe with all my heart that the United States and Mexico must end the system of undocumented labor."

I agree. Come back when you have documents, idiota.

[caseinpoint]

Excellent point. They want the policies continued and the barriers to open immigration removed, kind of having your cake and eating it too.

[Huntress]

Crisostomo, who has been an immigration activist in the Chicago area and fasted with Arellano in protest of immigration policies, said she could not support her family if she returned to Mexico.

How the hell is she going to support them hiding in a church?

[Jabba the Nutt]

"The current policies are driving people further and further underground,"

First of all, that's what happens when you break the law. Second of all, if being underground in America is so awful, you can fix that and breathe the free air above ground: Go home.

NOTE: I have nothing to do with this guy except he makes me laugh.

“where the truth can be told”

The TRUTH IS that this woman is here as an ILLEGAL and needs to be deported.

Her we ago again! And once again we will view the unedifying public spectacle of the cowardice of Chicago US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald. For months on end, Fitzgerald looked the other way and did nothing while Elvira Arellano and her supporters trumpeted their contempt for our laws and our court orders from a storefront “church” run by a phony publicity-hound reverend. Lynching Scooter Libby for no crime would, Fitzgerald knew, be popular with the media. Enforcing the law against illegals who openly defy it would, he knows, be unpopular. And he’s not a guy to do anything unpopular. When ICE and US marshals broke up a Chicago phony identity document mill run for the benefit of illegals—including some from Muslim countries—a “deer in the headlights” looking Fitzgerald hastened to assure Chicago TV reporters that the phony documents arrests had “ nothing to do with the immigration debate.” This guy is a gutless phony.
