Do you think ICE Should raid the church that the illegal immigrant woman is holed up in?
Immigration officials consider her a fugitive, and say they have the right to arrest her anywhere -- including the church. Lynette Kalsnes of Chicago Public Radio talks with Madeleine Brand about whether the church has the right to "sanctuary" from the law.
I think any church breaking the laws should loss all tax exempt status and be imprisoned!
They should storm the place and arrest everyone involved.
I simply can not understand the warped sense of "entitlement" these people exhibit.
Demand the government do it's job!
Deport this woman! ASAP!

Answer:
I think ICE should make a list of all the cities, and Churches that are claiming "sanctuary" for illegals. It would make it easier to go get them all. Arrest them, ready them for deportation, and escort off U.S. soil.
Besides sanctuary is a term used to protect one from being persecuted. She's not being persecuted, she's being deported for breaking U.S laws, as well as other laws within the U.S. The ID theft thing.
I'd like to know exactly what would happen if she and others pulled this type of thing on Mexico's soil. And if Mexico wouldn't put up with it, then why should the U.S..
Of course.
I also agree the church should lose tax exempt status.
I am in full agreement. Claiming "sanctuary" is a myth from the old days. The church claims they are within their legal rights to do what they are doing. What about the rights of the rest of the citizens and legal residents of this nation that HAVE to follow the laws of this land to expect others to do the same? We lock up people that break laws everyday - and I don't see the church offering to provide "sanctuary" to the drug pushers and murdering thieves that are currently on the run from the law.
But again, this is a case of choosing what laws are acceptable to break and which criminals have rights and which don't.
Yes.I would like to know if ALL criminal can stay in a church...or is just those that aren't citizens.
If they have a right to arrest her, then what are they waiting for?
No. Churches have always offered sanctuary from law enforcement and governments. This is nothing new ---- it is biblical.
Church and state are separate in this country. And, the church involved here is not breaking any laws by sheltering this woman. The woman has sought sanctuary and the church has offered it.
There is nothing that can be done legally to remove her from that church. If she steps outside and off of church property, she can be arrested. Until then, she is untouchable.
I find it hard how anyone can justify separating families - no matter what the circumstance. I cannot believe that you would think it is OK. What would you have the children do?
There are 12-15 million immigrants in this country who have no documentation or their visa's have expired. There is NO WAY that many people can be found, rounded up and deported.
In my opinion, you should find another cause. Work on health care for the 47 million Americans who don't have it. Join an anti-war group and help end the illegal war in Iraq that is costing us 280 BILLION dollars a month. Get involved in making sure our food supply is safe...
Leave this woman and others alone. They are NOT hurting you, they are NO threat to you and your family. And, unfortunately, you seem to be the one with a warped sense of "entitlement". You believe you are so superior to these people you would be for
attacking a church and forcibly removing someone. That's what Islamic radical fundamentalists do.. Perhaps you are living in the wrong country.or in the wrong century.
Chuirches no longer offer "sanctuary" against temporal (or secular) law. They do have the right to go in and detain her.
Of course they should get her and her kid out of here. We're talking about 2 people here, not numbers. This is a perfect opportunity to set a precedent for this kind of criminal behavior.
I don't know what they are waiting on. Any one of my local law officers could get her with no problem. Are they scared? Is she A really big & mean woman? Does she have weapons? There has got to be A reason.
I agree with you. Didn't that illegal alien commit ID fraud and destroyed someones life because of her actions? She has no respect for our laws and should be deported NOW! And she is a terrorist because of her comments about bringing down the USA because the amnesty bill did not go through.
Yes I do!
Absolutely! Not only is she a criminal for being here but she is also guilty of forgery - that's a felony! She should have been deported long ago.
Any church that gives an illegal sanctuary (AKA harbors an illegal alien criminal) should loose their tax exempt status.
Heck yes. Go git her.
I agree wholeheartedly! This so called church should lose all priviledges and since they aren't obeying the separation between church and state, they should be taxed accordingly. I really want to see this loud mouthed woman deported and to take her child with her. I don't think that any church should be allowed to harbor fugitives. I'll never understand why these people think that they are above the law, I'd never go into anyone's home and demand they feed me,etc. which is what these illegals have actually done. apparently, they were not reared with any morals, values or sense of respect for anything but what they want. Another detriment to our polite society.
No, never.
It's good she's there!
Absolutely.
YES ! The church is helping in breaking the law !!
