Illegal Aliens Finding Unlawful Sanctuary In America’s Churches

Time to start revoking tax exempt status.

Via Washington Times:

Church World Services, a nonprofit based in New York that presses for amnesty and opposes much of President Donald Trump’s border crackdowns, knows of dozens of illegals who’ve sought sanctuary within America’s places of worship over the last few years.

Churches, in other words — at least some of them — have become an illegal’s best friend. And it’s hardly biblical; it’s hardly heavenly or humanly lawful.

From The Associated Press: “Amanda Morales sees her children off to school each day from the entrance of a gothic church, but she won’t even venture onto the sidewalk for fear of what may happen if she leaves the building where she has been a virtual prisoner for more than two months. Morales has been living in two small rooms of the Holyrood Episcopal Church at the northern edge of Manhattan since August, shortly after immigration authorities ordered her deported to her homeland of Guatemala.”

She ran to the church for safety; she’s since stayed in the church for protection from deportation. This is not a boo-hoo for Morales moment. This is a sad and outrageous reflection on how politically correct our churches have become.

And churches offering such protections are becoming more and more common in America, particularly as Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency increases its enforcement.

Morales is just one example; her kids are legal, but she’s a fugitive and could be arrested at the drop of a hat. ICE, however, views churches as safe zones — “sensitive locations,” in fact — and won’t enter to arrest and deport.

Should this change?

Maybe. maybe not. But certainly, churches ought to be shame-faced at the blatant skirting of law.

After all, most of these same churches that are helping illegals bypass deportation — bypass what U.S. law says should occur — wouldn’t think twice about turning away a homeless American citizen who needed long-term or permanent shelter.

How about permanently housing an American veteran or two? Or, a drug addict sleeping on the street — how about offering him or her a new church home?
