Religious leaders begin amnesty push; how to push back

Per this, various religious groups [1] will begin a push for comprehensive immigration reform (aka amnesty) this and next month. They'll be holding 100 events including prayer vigils in a couple dozen states and urging their followers to send postcards to their representatives.

To a certain extent this isn't that big of a deal: they've been pushing for amnesty for years and they haven't gotten anywhere. At the events they'll be (literally) preaching to the choir, and elsewhere many or most of their parishioners will be opposed to their message.

However, it is a big deal because those leaders are giving a sheen of respectability and morality to illegal immigration and amnesty; without their support many would more clearly see the dangers of massive illegal immigration.

So, in case you'd like to push back against them, here are two things you can do:

1. Send the attached video to all your friends; it features a retired Catholic priest discussing the immorality of illegal immigration. You can send them either the Twitter-friendly URL peekurl.com/v4boq1t or youtube.com/watch?v=YMaNa1K8lJo

2. Find smart, experienced questioners to "cross-examine" those leaders at their public events, and upload video of their reply to video sharing sites. See the question authority page for an action plan, see our guide to asking tough questions, and see our list of fallacious immigration talking points for specific things you can call them on.

[1] Representatives on the call were Mike Honda and Yvette Clarke. Some of the groups involved were (per Chris Good):

National Association of Evangelicals, Faith in the Public Life, the Sojourners (Jim Wallis), the Protestant Interfaith Immigration Coalition, the Catholic coalition Justice for Immigrants, and the Jewish immigration reform coalition We Were Strangers Too.
