Some time ago, I happened to meet one of the chief organizers of the Sanctuary Movement in New York City. This is a grassroots movement within an ecumenical slice of the church in the United States (catholic and protestant) seeking to create safe places for undocumented migrants who have received increased per/prosecution because of their status following the adoption of post 9-11 legislation.
Undocumented immigration to the United States is a testy electoral issue and it happens to divide conservatives in the United States.

.... I was watching ‘mystery diagnosis’ on discovery health yesterday, and they had a case of an orthodox jewish boy having seizures. he had a spot in his brain that turned out to be a trichinosis tape worm, that you could only get from eating pork. but he never ate pork. turned out his family hired a ‘central american’ (probably illegal) alien to be their maid, and she had worms, and passed it by not washing her hands.
In this case they deserved it. but not in yours, may God have mercy on your daughter….
