National Evangelical Hispanic Alliance formed



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


DALLAS, Texas — A newly formed coalition representing tens of millions of Hispanic evangelicals announced its opposition to what it called some of the flawed immigration bills currently before Congress and proposed tightening border security and developing ways for undocumented workers to become productive members of society.

The group, known as The Hispanic Coalition for Comprehensive Immigration Reform, met with reporters in this Dallas suburb to outline its positions.

“We are deeply concerned with many of the anti-immigrant provisions that have been introduced and some of which were passed by the House of Representatives,” said Pastor Lynn Godsey, founder and president of a Dallas-Fort Worth Hispanic alliance known as A.H.E.M.

“We encourage the Senate and the administration to enact comprehensive immigration reform.”

During its news conference, the coalition outlined goals including reforms in family-based immigration systems to significantly reduce waiting times for separate families who currently wait many years to be reunited. The group also wants to create legal avenues for workers and their families who wish to migrate to the U.S. to enter the country and work in a safe, legal and orderly manner with their rights fully protected

“These proposals represent a compassionate approach,” said Pastor Mark Gonzales, founder and president of the Standing for Truth Foundation. “What we are seeking is a more-balanced and comprehensive approach to immigration, and we believe this accomplishes that.”

The coalition represents at least 20 million Spanish-speaking evangelicals, one of the fastest growing Christian groups in the country today.

Leaders emphasized their opposition to H.R. Bill 4437, which would subject to arrest anyone who assisted undocumented workers.

“We need to find a way to stop the flow of illegal immigration, but find a way to deal humanely and compassionately with the undocumented workers currently in the country,” said the Rev. Sam Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference.

The newly formed coalition will continue to hold discussions on next steps and plans to organize a national congress of evangelical leaders in Dallas later this month.

Oh, yes, I just LOVE this new trend. They turned against the Catholic church because the Catholic church wanted money. Now they turn to the Evangelicals thinking that the right wingers are going to protect them from deportation.

Well, I don't see that happening any time soon. The Pres. may be one of those fake right wingers but he isn't going to help anybody. He has proven that time and again. So I think they are sniffing the wrong urine with this plot.

So, in other words, if you've already broken the law and come here illegally, you're OK, but we don't want anymore of you illegal aliens coming here and ruining it for the rest of us. LOL

Here comes the false morality screw job attempt. We really have our work cut out for us.

I guess when the choir boys started getting pegged by the psychologists, the money that funded some of the illegal aliens got diverted to hush money and defense funds and so now they have to pretend to be Evangelicals. I have had a couple of Mexican Hispanics (and I couldn't say for sure if they are legal or illegal) as me if I was a Catholic or a Christian in recent weeks. I get very insulted by that question since Catholics ARE Christians but these were people who there is no sense trying to explain symantecs to because they didn't speak English well enough to understand what I was saying anyway.

Boy, new immigrants or illegals sure don't have a problem jumping right in to try changing our laws........

Yet, they won't stay in their country and fight for a better life, to turn things around there.....

It has to be our entitlements...the whole reason for coming here....

I've been sending emails to RNC, Ken Mehlman.....today, I got an answer...not much of one though. Just said, they appreciated my input...blah blah blah...

Everybody, flood the RNC with emails.....I don't know if contacting the Dems would do any good or not...they are hot on this UAE deal, but it's probably just because they always do the opposite of Bush....I've told some Dems that if they were against the UAE deal, they should be against our open borders....
