It's OK to take your US born children with you when you go. See, now no family is broken up. YW.

Sincerely,

US Citizens

And, it is OK for you "US born children" to hate, slap, punch your illegal invader parents for being so stupid.

See, that's the thing: the argument is that "families will be split up!" But the obvious counterargument is, "Then take your kids with you when you go back to wherever you came from. Duh."

Sanctuary churches

Holier than thou types. Ignoring the law and ignoring a judge's order.

A small piece of paper hangs above a bed in the pastor’s office at the Mancos United Methodist Church.It’s a sign-up sheet with the names of local residents committed to watching over Rosa Sabido, a Mexican national who has found sanctuary from deportation in the Colorado church. The residents sleep in the church office, while Sabido rests in a separate room normally used as a children’s nursery.

For the last 30 years, Sabido has lived in the U.S. on visitor visas or by receiving stays of deportation, but she was denied a stay in May and became eligible for immediate deportation.

Sabido won six one-year stays of removal, before her last request was denied in May.
“Pursuing repeated stays is not a viable means for an alien to permanently postpone their required return to their country of origin,” ICE spokesman Carl Rusnok said in a prepared statement. “Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly has made it clear that ICE will no longer exempt any class of individuals from removal proceedings if they are found to be in the country illegally.”

Sanctuary churches


this is the one area I'd allow an exception .... churches have always been a Sanctuary of some sorts

however .... the person should never leave [otherwise be subject to arrest], no leaving to go to the doctors, by clothes .... etc
if you leave we are going to grap you and deport you

and I doubt seriously churches could handle the millions of illegals

Churches aren't allowed to break the law OR be political activists.

Indeed .........

Not according to the law. Religious institutions in America don't have special permission to harbor criminals or protect them from the government. That hasn't stopped pastors from trying. In the 1980s, hundreds of churches joined together in the "sanctuary movement" to save Central American political refugees from deportation. They managed to offer some de factoprotection, since the immigration authorities wanted to avoid the spectacle of church raids. But the courts ruled that church officials and volunteers weren't immune to criminal prosecution, and some members of the movement were convicted of transporting illegal aliens. (American churches made similar efforts on behalf of runaway slaves in the 19th century and Vietnam War protesters in the 1970s.)

Today churches may have a little bit more authority to harbor illegal immigrants than they used to. In 2005, Congress passed a law that gives religious groups a limited right to recruit illegal aliens as church volunteers or missionaries. (Sen. Robert Bennett of Utah introduced the legislation at the behest of the Mormon Church.) The illegal immigrants would still be subject to arrest, but church officials couldn't be prosecuted for taking them on.

The tradition of religious sanctuary goes back to ancient times. The Old Testament mentions safe haven at the altar for criminals who commit accidental murder and even suggests the establishment of six "cities of refuge" for killers. By around the fourth century, the right to sanctuary had become formalized among the early Christians. At first the sanctuary rule applied if the criminal had one part of his body in a church building or grasped the rings attached to the church doors. Within a few centuries, the sanctuary zone included the churchyard, graveyard, cloisters, and a 35-pace radius around the bishop's residence.

As was mentioned, this is a gray area. One example is when Manuel Noriega took sanctuary in the Apostolic Nunciature, which was the Vatican's embassy in Panama.

As an embassy that would have been protected like all other embassies..hence Vatican "soil", and off limits to local Panamanian govt. Google "Vienna Convention".

A church is seldom also an embassy.
