Church gives "Sanctuary" to Illegal Alien Activist.
Immigrant Takes Refuge in Chicago Church
Look, if this gal was simply an illegal immigrant waiting tables somewhere, whose son happens to be an American citizen, I might be inclined to give her a pass. Unfortunately, she's "...the face of the movement", which puts the Government in a pickle: Do they storm the church Elián González style, or turn their backs.
Revoke the churches tax exempt status for a start. They call allowing an illegal alien to hole up in your church 'civil disobedience': It's still breaking the law. In the spirit of Henry David Thoreau, don't do the crime unless you're willing to do the time.
