Pastor Martin Niemoeller, German clergyman (1892-1984)


"First they came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me,
and by that time no one was left to speak up."

Pastor Martin Niemoeller, German clergyman (1892-1984)

We demand that the US government create a Lutheran registry

We demand that the US government create a Lutheran registry. Just saying.

I’ll just leave this right here:

"As Lutherans, many of our ancestors faced the pain of having to flee our homes and the joy of being welcomed in new communities across the United States. As we have done throughout history, I urge our elected officials to honor our biblical witness as well as the best of our nation’s traditions of refuge and stand firmly against any policies that result in scaling back the refugee resettlement program." - The Rev. Elisabeth A. Eaton, Presiding Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America – Retrieved Jan. 27, 2017


I am a Matthew chapter 25 chaplain to give voice to those often without a voice, to give form to my love of "other,” because I hate bullies and bullying, because God has called me as a chaplain to be welcoming and showing hospitality and mercy to all.

Leviticus 19:34: The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York Emergency Motion for Stay of Removal January 28, 2017


In New York, lawyers for two Iraqi men detained at John F. Kennedy International Airport — one of whom served the U.S. military mission in Iraq — filed a federal lawsuit challenging the order as unconstitutional.

One of the men, Hameed Khalid Darweesh, was released Saturday afternoon without explanation from federal officials. “This is the humanity, this is the soul of America,’’ he told reporters. “This is what pushed me to move, to leave my country and come here … America is the land of freedom — the land of freedom, the land of the right.’’

Fox News honors Frederick Co Sheriff Charles Jenkins as one of America's Top 10 Toughest Immigration Sheriffs

Fox News honors Frederick Co Sheriff Charles Jenkins as one of America's Top 10 Toughest Immigration Sheriffs

America's Top 10 'Toughest' Immigration Sheriffs



These top lawmen may not be household names, but they're vocal, vigilant and very determined to rid their counties of illegal immigrants.  Here's a look at some of the country's most outspoken anti-immigration advocates and some of their more significant actions:

Sheriff Charles Jenkins, Frederick County, Maryland


A lifelong resident of Frederick County, Md., Charles Jenkins initiated the controversial 287(g) Immigration Enforcement Program shortly after he was elected in 2006, becoming the first law enforcement official in Maryland to do so. The program, which some say leads to racial profiling, trains deputies to check the immigration status of individuals they arrest and has turned over at least 650 illegal immigrants in the county to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for deportation hearings since its inception. Jenkins told "Maryland Sheriff" magazine last year that the program is the "single best thing" that any lawman could do to keep their citizens safe. He also testified before Congress in March 2009 on the importance of local enforcement of immigration laws. (Frederick County Sheriff's Office)

The White House on Tuesday will request $3.8 billion from Congress in emergency funding to deal with an influx of unaccompanied minors from Central America, a far higher amount than the Obama administration had previously signaled, according to a Capitol Hill source familiar with the plans.

James Simpson DC Independent Examiner: AIM Special Report on CASA de Maryland published today

James Simpson DC Independent Examiner: AIM Special Report on CASA de Maryland published today

James Simpson, DC Independent Examiner September 20, 2011

AIM Special Report on CASA de Maryland published today

Many of you may wonder where I have been for the past six months or so. Obviously I have not been writing much publicly.

One of the major efforts I have been involved in is a report being issued today at Accuracy in Media (http://www.aim.org/).
This report documents the abusive and corrupt nature of a very influential illegal immigrant advocacy organization known as CASA de Maryland.
[…]
Please read the AIM report. It documents the corrosive effects the illegal alien issue is having on our government and society.

No, I won't sign your petition

No, I won't sign your petition to overturn the bill signed by Gov. Martin O"Malley to give every Maryland student, even those whose parents are "illegal" aliens, the right to get the same considerations as they persue an education as any other Maryland student. And since you asked me to, I will tell you why I will not.
First of all, I am tired of people getting up petitions to take everything they don't agree with to referendum. Our country's system depends on electing representatives to make policy decisions, and if we don't like what they do, we can un-elect them in four years. If we let the public vote on every item of business, we don't need elected officials, but we'd need more referees... http://www.deanminnich.com/2011/05/no-i-wont-sign-your-petition.html

Explore Carroll: County legislators press petition against in-state tuition for illegal immigrants

Explore Carroll: County legislators press petition against in-state tuition for illegal immigrants


Local lawmakers vocal in opposition to law

By Katie V. Jones
Posted 5/15/11

[...]

On May 10, Gov. Martin O'Malley signed into law SB 167, the controversial measure that allows in-state tuition rates for illegal immigrants who have graduated or earned the equivalent of a degree from a Maryland high school.
For advocates of the measure, it was closure of an issue that was hotly debated during the 2011 General Assembly in Annapolis
But for many others, though, the issue is just beginning.
Before it became law, SB 167 caused waves of protest throughout the state, and several local legislators from Carroll County are continuing to be vocal opponents.
"People are furious about this," said State Del. Susan Krebs, who represents District 9B in Eldersburg and Sykesville. "People have just had it with the legislature and what they've done. We're basically encouraging people to come to Maryland to get (educational) benefits."
By allowing for the adjustment in education costs for the illegal immigrants, the state will fall even more into debt, said Del. Justin Ready, who represents Carroll County in District 5A...  http://www.explorecarroll.com/news/5429/county-legislators-press-petition-against-in-state-tuition-law/

Explore Carroll: By Kevin Dayhoff I was in Phoenix, Ariz., last week for a reporters'...  […]  When he's not gawking at the Grand Canyon

I was in Phoenix, Ariz., last week for a reporters' conference, Capitolbeat, and the ironies were in abundance...

It was on the date of my visit, Nov. 12, 1954, that Ellis Island, the gateway to the United States and the symbol of American the immigrant experience, closed after more than 12 million immigrants passed through its gates since opening in 1892...

It should be noted that Congress hasn't formally acted on the issue since the last immigration reform measures were passed in 1986 -- a point not lost on New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson when he addressed the Capitolbeat conference....
