Church Sanctuaries Again

clipped from hosted.ap.org LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Churches in five big U.S. cities plan to protect illegal immigrants from deportation, offering their buildings as sanctuary if need be, as they pressure lawmakers to create a path to citizenship for the nation's estimated 12 million illegal immigrants. On Wednesday, a Catholic church in Los Angeles and a Lutheran church in North Hollywood each sheltered one person, and churches in other cities plan to do so in coming months as part of the "New Sanctuary Movement."

But the Iraqis should have been left to the plastic shredders? Remarkable. Maybe because leasing out their sanctuaries doesn't require much blood or sweat?
