of seperation of church and state? Does a church have the right to protect people who have broken our immigration laws?

Yes I think they should be investigated, fined and if appropriate have their tax free status taken away and people prosecuted.

they have! Any unlawful immigrant can pass to the main conventional plastic ordinary practitioner in u.s. and get a advantageous boob activity--with your tax money. They get loose healthcare, training. What else do they desire? Mexicans are not dumb they comprehend that whether they are broke and are available to u.s., all they should do is panorama and that they're going to stay conveniently on a similar time as some individuals are in basic terms making it on the minimum salary and turning out to be healthcare expenses. did you recognize that 0.5 of the 11th of September hijackers have been unlawful immigrants who got here right here in the time of the Mexican-American border? for sure that they had each and every little thing they mandatory to make it by way of years of flight college.

Yes they crossed the line and our SWAT team should ram the churches with their mighty tanks and deport them illegal aliens and the sympathizers. Run them all out no matter what country they are from and the sympathizers too.

According to NPR the "sanctuary" these churches are offering is so far only symbolic and spiritual. They are not (yet) offering to break any laws to help illegals.

There is no such thing as separation of church and state. There are entire cities in the US that are sanctuary cities. We should be more outraged at that.

it does cross the line... the separation of church and state does not mean churches do not have to follow the law.. It means that the state can not dictate the Religion you follow.

I do not think so. They are guilty of aiding and abetting criminals and should be charged as such. Churchs are not above the law.

Its kinda weird when you consider that every church in the country has "mission trips" to Mexico.
If you want to go there and do for them, and give them what you have and what you want, that is one thing. But to harbor them here and fight for them to have what belongs to legal American citizens is thievery.

In the end churches answer to a higher authority than the government:
Jesus said in Matthew 25 --
31"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. 32All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
41"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'
44"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'
45"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'
Illegal immigrants qualify as the "least of these". Christians are to behave charitably and hospitably towards the poor, needy, and disadvantaged regardless of race, ethnicity, or national origin.
