Pastor Coffin after being refused by the Border Patrol in allowing any local churches to minister to the basic needs of the children in border patrol gulags.

“We’re not anti-government at all,” he said. “We think the government is equipped to do what they were constitutionally created to do – and not do the church’s job.”
But I’m afraid under this administration, the government believes they are church and President Obama is the deity. Heaven help us all.

Immigration refugees

SB, I know this may sound somewhat ridiculous, but if the government lets in a Christian ministry, what's to stop a muslim ministry from asking the same thing? I have friends that are muslim and I find them very nice, pleasant people. He is very proud to be an American citizen. He changed his name from Tariq to Frank after he got his citizenship. He devoutly observes Ramadan and all the other Muslim religious rites. So his religion is real and profound. He has never tried to proselityze (my apologies for the misspelling) me (probably wouldn't work as I don't really care for religion at this time). His wife is very smart she is director of IT risk management for a large bank. I am happy they are my friends. I would prefer inter-faith, I'm not sure the government should be pushing one religion over another.

Having said that, I don't think anyone but Catholics ought to be in there. Their culture means that they are about 98% Catholic. They are from a culture where everyone around them was a Catholic (the only exceptions I'm aware of are the Menonite population in Chihuaua and the Mormon population down somewhere west/northwest of Mexico City.

I also think these kids need to be sent back home, but not until we clean things up. Honduras is run by (I believe) a hand-picked socialist straight from Hugo Chavez. Our CIA informed him through diplomatic channels that the chief of the state police was known to be corrupt. The current president of Honduras, upon hearing our recommendation, promptly renominated the police chief for another term.

We need to let Nicaragua, El Salvador and Honduras know in no uncertain terms that we will not validate the Mexican Cartel's business model. We also especially need to let Honduras know if they can't get Mara Savatrucha under control we will be more than happy to do it for them while we depose the government. This flood of immigrants represents a security risk to this country and encourages even more illicit behavior by the Zetas, CDG, Sinaloa and Templelarios Caballeros

****\\rant off.

There's no conflict. If a muslim charity steps up and acts in good faith then that's excellent. The government isn't pushing anything. Well they are pushing _away_ the solution to the problem they intentionally created. They are uninterested in a solution that doesn't meet the only end game they are planning on.

It not ridiculous - because in the middle east the Muslim are involved provided welfare to other muslim, but they don't seem to really care about kafirs and would rather kill or behead than try to serve.

Having said that, I don't think anyone but Catholics ought to be in there.

That is probably being very short sighted. When the red cross comes into a disaster relief, those who actually predominantly are feeding people come from protestant relief organization such as the Southern Baptist Disaster relief. 2nd, probably sending catholic priests to help children seems like a bad PR move.
