A group of religious and community leaders will hold a public discussion Friday at Virginia Wesleyan College to discuss immigration reform.

The Interfaith Immigration Coalition is hosting a vigil and roundtable discussion at 6 p.m. at the college’s Boyd dining center, 1584 Wesleyan Drive.

The event will include different points of view and endorse a humane treatment of immigrants, a press release said.

Let's hope this quasi-religious 'flavoring', posturing, and pontificating over immigration includes a very frank dialogue about the effects of illegal immigration as well. I'm not at ALL sympathetic towards ANY group which wrings its hands and cries over the 'poor, desperate, impoverished, yearning-to-be-free' immigrants who ultimately seek only to bleed the U.S. taxpayer, and live off the public dole while seeking every benefit and advantage that they can wring from us. Every organization such as this has a certain, pre-disposed 'agenda', and the fact that the article hasn't quite disclosed it tells me that this forum is just another politically-correct, uber-liberal attempt by a whiny college-affiliated group to bash conservative efforts to responsibly curb illegal immigration. So far, I'm skeptical, I'm not impressed, and I'll withhold judgement pending an impartial, follow-up review of their forum.
