Sanctuary Churches: Who Controls The Story?

Code Switch's Adrian Florido has been covering the new sanctuary movement for us. For this episode, he spoke to key players to understand why hundreds of churches are ready to start a public fight with the current administration to prevent deportations of immigrants living in the U.S. illegally.

He also looks at why the movement has to wrestle with important questions: Who controls the story and the message? How much say does an individual or family have in how a sanctuary church leverages their story?

Adrian also has a candid talk with Jeanette Vizguerra, who is living inside a Colorado church, as she fights a legal deportation battle. It could be years before she is able to step outside the church. As Adrian reports, the decisions, intentions and relationships complicate the work of sanctuary churches.

I like the thought that the church is helping ICE by keeping the illegal aliens in the church so they know where to pick them up when they step outside. By the way the word immigrant should not be used here they are not illegal immigrants they are illegal aliens no matter what the MSM says. Immigrants do it the right way. Therefore they are not illegal. For the life of me i can't see why any half intelligent human being can't see the difference. I can understand the brain dead congress not understanding when their pockets are lined by the left trying to protect illegal votes. I have no issue with ICE picking up any illegal no matter if they have a record or not. THEY ARE ILLEGAL PERIOD. If you are not illegal you have nothing to worry about.

Here it is we have always believed all churches believed in abiding within the law and now "sanctuary" churches give refuge to law breakers and refuse to abide by the law. This is amazing.
