Faith leaders to petition Jan Brewer to retract order barring benefits for illegal immigrants
Benefits for illegal immigrants
Joshua Montano, left, and Deborah Robles protest in front of the Capitol the day after Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, in an executive order reaffirming Arizona state law denying young illegal immigrants driver's licenses and other public benefits on Thursday, Aug. 16, 2012, in Phoenix. Brewer's order issued Wednesday says she's reaffirming the intent of current Arizona law denying taxpayer-funded public benefits and state identification to illegal immigrants. Young illegal immigrants could start applying Wednesday with the federal government for work permits under the Obama administration's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. The program defers deportations for young illegal immigrants if they meet certain criteria. (AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin)

Of course you have to assume Jan (Pearce) Brewer is an actual Christian.
She is, however, so steeped in Republican hate and bigotry, and hispanic racism that her only religion is in her own mind.
I'll bet she prays dailey to her idol Ev Mecham, while asking her mirror on the wall if she is still the fairest Queen of all in her private little realm.

She didn't change the law, nor create a new one -- she didn't need to do this "Executive Order" at all. It was already the law that they would not be entitled to these things.
but of course in echoing her favorite President's "Executive Order" in order to remind the people of Arizona, or to calm them down, she in turn as once again gotten people worked up into a frenzy about HER executive order.
On KTAR they spoke to an immigration lawyer and she said what Jan Brewer said was already the law. That these people who were accepted into the delayed deportation ruling were never going to be getting these benefits, altho she did say that many of the people that had talked to her were surprised about that fact. It seems many thought that the delayed deportation ruling meant they'd get all things that regular US citizens would get. But the deal is not giving them a path to citizenship or changing their status to legal, it's simple to delay any deportation for up to 2 years.
In order to get all the perks of club U.S.A. you have to be a bonafide member!

If the Media and Obama and ICE and Janet Napolitano did not Pander and support and Break our laws we would not have this problem. America is really sick and tired of all of you turning us into Mexico and taking up for the Illegals over us. All you have to do is enforce current laws on the books. Than most Illegals will leave. Why should we have to pay for Obama's VOTE. This has to end. We the PEOPLE need to unite!

"Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." Translated meaning-The laws which are made for the suppression of evil doers, and the maintenance of good order, which are calculated to promote the benefit of the whole, and the comfort of the individual should be religiously obeyed.
Therefore, while we thank you for your time and effort, perhaps you Christian activsts (read agitators) to go back and read their Bible. If they would like to provide benefit to these people on their own, they are free to do so.

It is against federal law to aid and abet invaders.... in fact it's a felony. Illegal alien parasites deserve nothing but prompt deportation. You go Jan!

Not a citizen = no benefits. It takes real nerve for squatters to demand the perks of citizenship.

Brewer should just make this group of superstitious activists happy and retract the Executive Order.
It won't change a thing - those provisions are already state law.

It's shameful to bring Religion inot a matter of Federal Law... like a drug dealer demanding to sell his drugs in front of a church, because GOD told him to do it?
This election, vote to return America back into a Country of Law and Order...
And ask Obama to show you his College Records... he claimed to be a foreign exchange student.... He's the biggest crook inn the World!
Ask his Classmates... if you can find one... the Government has shut MOST of them up.... Obama is evil to the root.

Perhaps we need another executive order removing their tax exempt status. If they want to meddle in government affairs they do not deserve an exemption.

Faith Leaders,
I agree that compassion is important to morality. Please remember though, that while it doesn't draw people in as easily, personal responsibility is also important to morality.

This Great Nation of Immigrants was Built on Far Better Principles, and Values than what has been done to un-documented Immigrants since January 2008.
January 2008 = The start of the E-verify Law, the I.C.E. Deportation/Incarceration Programs which have Persecuted Millions of good, Hard working un-documented Immigrants , and Millions of thier legal Citizen Children/Families.
January 2008 Also = The start of "The Great Recession", and Maricopa County now has a Half Million Vacated Homes!
"America is great because it is good, when it ceases to be good, it ceases to be great."
Alex De Tocqueville
Jan Brewer has shown she is niether Good, or Great.
History will remember these Bigots.
To: Good
Humane Immigration reform must occur to "Restore America.
The twenty-Five year period prior to the 2008 "Anti-Immigrant Rant" was the "Most Prosperous period in Total U.S. History!
The Millions of un-documented Immigrants were here, and we all worked together FOR America!
This is our I,C,E.'d Economy.
I.C.E. "Put the Car in the Ditch."
This is what has Crashed and Divided our Country.

The only "religion" that many of these activists believe in is the ....."CHURCH OF THE ILLEGAL ALIEN AMNESTY".
The leaders of the Mormon Church, Liberal Protestants and Roman Catholic Church are "supportive" of.......Illegal Alien Amnesty but will not come out and "out-right" support it because they are afraid of a.........."tea party - right wing" backlash.
