We must pursue all options to stop amnesty - 12/07/14

It's not too late to stop or modify Obama's amnesty, and all reasonable ways to do it have to be on the table. We can't afford to put all our eggs into one basket. If we only pursue a limited number of methods to stop amnesty and they don't work, then Obama will get his way.

On Monday, the illegal immigration supporting Christians for Comprehensive Immigration Reform (headed up by Jim Wallis) held a press conference where they stated their opposition to Hazleton, Pennsylvania mayor Lou Barletta. It was probably what you'd suspect, and their press release had more of the same: ..."They need to stop using rhetoric that demonizes immigrants and make an effort to respect all people, including immigrants..."
