Among U.S. evangelicals, surprising support for immigration reform
By Alistair Bell | Reuters – Sun, Feb 10, 2013
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Thou shalt compromise, at least on immigration reform.
That is the message being heard from some leading evangelicals in the United States. After decades of promoting traditionally conservative causes like opposition to abortion, many evangelical leaders are now wielding their formidable influence to persuade Republican lawmakers to back one of President Barack Obama's top priorities.
With Hispanic attendance at their churches rising, these evangelicals are among the loudest advocates of a U.S. immigration reform. A group of pastors has launched a 40-day campaign to have churchgoers pray, read scripture passages about welcoming the stranger and lobby their members of Congress, many of them in the conservative South.
"We have pastors preach in pulpits to parishioners in Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas, Mississippi, Texas - in all the wonderful red states across America," that aiding immigrants, illegal or not, is a Christian duty, said Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, one of the country's most prominent Hispanic evangelicals.
While evangelicals have been a major force in Republican politics for years, Republican lawmakers will take some persuading to back the sort of immigration reform supported by President Barack Obama, which includes a "pathway" to citizenship for immigrants in the country illegally.
Conservatives in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives want to focus the debate initially on securing the border with Mexico and making sure illegal immigrants are not rewarded with an amnesty.
"Some of them don't necessarily see or acknowledge the changing demographics or the electoral merits of passing immigration reform, but I do think that many of these religious leaders could push them in that direction by really referencing the humanitarian interest, or moral argument," said Republican strategist Ford O'Connell.
Rodriguez and other pastors are speaking to members of Congress "on a daily basis" to ask them to legalize the status of 11 million undocumented immigrants.
Targeted lawmakers include Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia, who chaired a House hearing on immigration last week, and Rep. Raul Labrador of Idaho - a leading Tea Party thinker on immigration.
Unlikely as it may have seemed at the height of the "culture wars" of the last two decades, these evangelicals are attempting to nudge Republicans to the center. The effort is well timed, coming as the Republican Party strives to improve its appeal to Hispanic voters who went solidly Democratic at 2012 elections.
"This is one area where social conservative input is extremely welcomed by the Republican Party," said O'Connell.
Pastors are asking worshippers to email their lawmakers and tell them: "I am a Christian, a conservative and I vote. I want you to support immigration reform this year," said Rodriguez.
RARE BIPARTISAN FORAY
Support for an immigration overhaul among Christian conservatives has been growing over time. In 2011, the 16 million-member Southern Baptist Convention - the country's largest Protestant body - called for "a just and compassionate path to legal status" for illegal immigrants while urging the government to secure U.S. borders.
A Public Religion Research Institute poll in 2010 showed white evangelicals support, by a margin of 2-1, an immigration reform that would allow illegal immigrants to become Americans.
After the election, a group of evangelical leaders signed a letter to Obama endorsing "a path toward legal status and/or citizenship" for immigrants. Among the signers was Tim Daly, president of the Focus on the Family ministry.
Immigration is providing a rare foray into bipartisanship for evangelical veterans of fights over gay marriage and abortion like lawyer Mathew Staver, vice president of Liberty University, founded by evangelical leader Jerry Falwell in Lynchburg, Virginia. Staver's Liberty Counsel group threatened to sue a Florida library in 2000 for promoting witchcraft by encouraging young people to read a Harry Potter novel.
As recently as last November 8, Staver wrote on Liberty Counsel's website that Obama won re-election because, "Millions of Americans looked evil in the eye and adopted it."
But now he acknowledges that Obama deserves credit, along with the Republican head of the House Judiciary Committee and Senators from both sides of the aisle, for drawing up plans for an immigration overhaul.
"I think it is incumbent upon us to work together and I applaud the bipartisan committee in the Senate and I applaud the leadership of Bob Goodlatte," Staver said. "I applaud President Obama too, I just don't want to use this as a political ping pong."
But any talk of an alliance between the White House and evangelicals to win immigration reform is stretching it.
Christian conservatives strongly oppose a proposal by Obama to give spousal visas to same-sex foreign partners of American gays and lesbians. And evangelical leaders disagree among themselves on whether to grant undocumented immigrants the full right to U.S. citizenship or allow them some other, more limited, legal status in the United States.
Neither option is acceptable to some conservative evangelicals, like Iowa pastor Cary Gordon who opposes loosening immigration laws and accuses his co-religionists of "unbiblical naivete."
'I WAS A STRANGER'
Much of the Christian case for helping illegal immigrants is based on stories of Biblical "immigrants" like Abraham and Moses and passages such as Matthew 25:35: "I was a stranger and you invited me in."
"The scriptures command us to take care of the immigrant. It's not just one verse here or there, it's a repeated command throughout the Biblical text," said Matt Soerens of the World Relief organization, who lectures churches on immigration.
U.S. Representative Doug Collins, an Air Force Reserve chaplain, says hospitality to foreigners is fine but must be balanced with respect for immigration laws.
"Scripture also teaches very clearly that there is government and civil authority and that there is an understanding of rule of law," said Republican Collins, who sits on the House Judiciary Committee.
He represents a strongly conservative district in Georgia which has seen a spike in undocumented workers in the poultry and construction industries and opposes giving illegal immigrants a path to citizenship.
The evangelicals' pro-immigration passion reflects changes in the conservative Christian movement which, while still predominantly white, has taken on a Latin tinge.
Rodriguez, the pastor, who heads a U.S. Hispanic organization with 40,000 member churches, gave a benediction at the Republican National Convention in Tampa last year.
While some two-thirds of U.S. Latinos are Catholic, Hispanics form the fastest-growing group in evangelical churches and are seen as a bulwark against dropping attendance.
Rodriguez put the number of Hispanics in the United States who are either "born-again" or evangelical Christians at between 10 million and 16 million, and growing fast.
While numbers are hard to come by, "there are lots of indirect pieces of evidence" that point to the growth of Latino evangelicals, said Victoria DeFrancesco Soto, who studies Hispanic politics.
Six percent of evangelicals were Latinos in 2007, according to a Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life poll. Eight percent of evangelical or "born-again" voters in a Reuters/Ipsos exit poll at last November's election said they were Hispanic.
Worshipping together with newly arrived Christians - as well as the new emphasis on Biblical teachings on immigration - is melting conservatives' doubts about illegal immigrants, said Danny Carroll, an Old Testament professor at an evangelical seminary in Colorado.
He is part of a congregation at a church in Aurora that is attended mostly by white Americans on Sunday mornings. In the afternoons, the church then hosts separate services with their own pastors for Hispanic, Korean, Filipino and Russian immigrant groups
"Once a quarter, all these congregations get together for a worship service so all of a sudden you are sitting next to someone with a different face, different color, different language. Once you put a human face on it, the whole conversation changes," he said.

Perhaps Cato said it best when he declared:
"Whoever will pretend to govern a People without regarding them,
will soon repent it."
(95 BC, Rome – April 46 BC, Utica), commonly known as (wikipedia.org/wiki/Cato_the_Younger) Cato the Younger
(Cato Minor) to distinguish him from his great-grandfather (Cato the Elder), was a politician and statesman in the late Roman Republic, and a follower of the Stoic philosophy. A noted orator, he is remembered for his stubbornness and tenacity (especially in his lengthy conflict with Julius Caesar), as well as his immunity to bribes, his moral integrity, and his famous distaste for the ubiquitous corruption of the period.
Marcus Porcius Cato (234 BC, Tusculum – 149 BC) was a Roman statesman, commonly referred to as Censorius
(the Censor), Sapiens (the Wise), Priscus (the Ancient), or Major, (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cato_the_Elder) Cato the Elder,
or Cato the Censor, (to distinguish him from his great-grandson, Cato the Younger) known for his conservatism and opposition to Hellenization.
The Liberal's Fiddle
Nero's 14 year reign as emperor of Rome is considered by many historians to be a period of tyrannical and extravagant rule by the unfavorable leader. So absorbed with wealth and fame, Nero sought to reconstruct Rome with huge palaces and temples along with a 120 foot golden statue of himself rather than rule in favor of the people and their individual liberties. His lofty visions of an empire turned stylish devalued the dollar to the point of economic ruin. As well did he find displeasure with the Christians whom he placed blame for the Great Fire that overtook the city in 64, choosing to illuminate his palace garden at night with their captured torched bodies. Further accounts also make the claim that Nero played the fiddle while the city burned, himself dressed in full theatrical costume as if he were on stage. In short, torture, murder, and excess define the reign of this tyrant, a man enslaved by his own passions and the lust for public adulation. In the end, he did what all tyrants and dictators seem to do when faced with a just insurrection of the citizenry - commit suicide.
Perhaps Cato said it best when he declared,
"Whoever will pretend to govern a People without regarding them, will soon repent it."
Regrettably, we are once again living in the time of Nero, only this time it is our own nation that is on fire - a conflagration set by the dirty hands of king-men who rejoice in the sufferings of the people and the demise of the Constitution. And in the distance, through all the smoke and haze, the rightly tuned ear can distinguish the riotous sound of the same fiddle being played without pause to the depressing tune of modern liberalism.
As did our Founding Fathers do
so should we too, today, build justice and strength, success and wealth.
Without the reigning in of government power, the people quickly lose their own and in the process their individual sovereignty, hard-earned fortunes, and sacred honor. Therefore, it is up to us to resist the pull of government increase and to ignore public sentiment and its cradling of immoral and gross conduct in order to reestablish a Republic built upon the foundation of Christ, "which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."

(1) Mardi Gras and (2) Lent defined with their related details and the origin of the words
Mar·di Gras
means: Fat Tuesday (French) - February[French : mardi, Tuesday + gras, fat (from the feasting on Mardi Gras before Lenten fasting).]
a. Shrove Tuesday, celebrated as a holiday in many places with carnivals, masquerade balls, and parades of costumed merrymakers.
Shrove Tuesday = also known as Pancake Tuesday and Pancake Day) is the day preceding Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent.
b. A carnival period coming to a climax on this day.
2. An occasion of great festivity and merrymaking.
pious = marked by or showing (click green) reverence for deity and devotion to divine worship
Lent
(click green here and below for further info)
(Dutch: Lente (Long Springtime); Latin: Quadragesima; Spanish: Cuaresma, "Of the Fortieth"[1]) is a solemn observance in the liturgical year of many Christian denominations, lasting for a period of approximately six weeks leading up to Easter Sunday. In the general Latin-rite and most Western denominations Lent is taken to run from Ash Wednesday to Maundy Thursday (Holy Thursday) or to Easter Eve.
The traditional purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer—through prayer, penance*), repentance, almsgiving, and self-denial. Its institutional purpose is heightened in the annual commemoration of Holy Week, marking the death and resurrection of Jesus, which recalls the events of the Passion of Christ on Good Friday, which then culminates in the celebration on Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
*) Penance is repentance of sins as well as the proper name of the Roman Catholic, Orthodox Christian, and Anglican Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation/Confession. It also plays a part in non-sacramental confession among Lutherans and other Protestants.
The word penance derives from Old French and Latin poenitentia, both of which derive from the same root meaning repentance, the desire to be forgiven (in English see contrition). Penance and repentance, similar in their derivation and original sense, have come to symbolize conflicting views of the essence of repentance, arising from the controversy as to the respective merits of "faith" and "good works." Word derivations occur in many languages.
During Lent, many of the faithful commit to fasting or giving up certain types of luxuries as a form of penitence. The Stations of the Cross, a devotional commemoration of Christ's carrying the Cross and of his execution, are often observed. Many Roman Catholic and some Protestant churches devoid their altars of candles, flowers, and other devotional offerings, while Crucifixes, religious statues, and other elaborate religious paraphernalia are often veiled in violet fabrics in solemn observance of this event. In certain pious Catholic countries, the consumption of meat is traditionally yet varyingly[2] self-abstained by the faithful, while grand religious processions and cultural customs are observed, and the faithful attempt to visit seven churches during Holy Week in honor of Jesus Christ heading to Mount Calvary.
Lent is traditionally described as lasting for forty days, in commemoration of the forty days which, according to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, Jesus spent fasting in the desert before the beginning of his public ministry, where he endured temptation by the Devil named Satanas.[3][4] However, different Christian denominations calculate the "forty days" of Lent differently. In most Western traditions the Sundays are not counted as part of Lent; thus the period from Ash Wednesday until Easter consists of 40 days when the Sundays are excluded. However in the Roman Catholic Church Lent is now taken to end on Holy Thursday rather than Easter Eve, and hence lasts 38 days excluding Sundays, or 44 days in total.
This event, along with its pious*) customs are observed by Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians, Anglicans, as well as some Baptists and Mennonites.
*) pious = devout - religious - godly - prayerful - devotional

The U.S. Congress in D.C.
has decided that "pizza is a vegetable".
Is it a wonder that our nation does not know what is healthy eating?
The Congress is making sure that two of the biggest problems in the school lunch program, pizza and french fries, are untouched.
The U.S. Congress: Anything that has at least 2 spoonfuls of tomato sauce is a vegetable.
The tomato sauce alone may and can be containing poisonous chemicals the "food" industry is using in their processed products.
Only natural food, preferably home-cooked for you to fully control what you & your family eat, can be natural, assuming the cooking process has been proper.
The Congress is totally wrong, this is fully outrageous.
The Congress made the decision only for political reasons.
This "decision" is shameful and harms our population.
Where is the D.C. law makers understanding?
Is this reasonable law making?
This additionally sickens our children and adults.
Our nation is over 80 % more or less either over-weight or obese & is getting sicker and sicker raising the sickness care costs. Those costs are among the highest worldwide, yet, the U.S. population is among the sickest worldwide.
Our children are getting fatter & sicker.
The nation suffers of drastically raising sickness levels.
Then The U.S. Congress has nerves to decide that unhealthy material (not food), pizza, is a vegetable.
Is there not enough confusion in the nation what to eat and what not to eat?
After some debate, Congress voted that anything containing two tablespoons of tomato sauce can be labelled a vegetable, putting pizza into the vegetable category.

Too many veterans are being neglected and left on their own.
The most recent research has discovered NEW information for understanding the reasons why exceptionally many veterans seem to suffer mental challenges and comit suicides. It may not be as was thought before. The treatments given to our suffering veterans have not helped.
STAF, Inc.'s President, Christian von Christophers, Ph.D., has in several occasions stated that the treatments are not suitable. He has also stated other reasons for our veterans' challenges and developed different solutions than what the veterans have been given.
The modern war technology is affecting the human organs physically and then causing symptoms similar to mental challenges when the reason actually may only be physical.
Listen to STAF, Inc.'s Radio Show original recording from May 30, 2012.

More printed information will be added in this website in tab: services. The Vietnam veterans did not developed similar challenges as today's veterans have. The new reason are the results of the most modern war technology which was not in use during the Vietnam war. The reasons will also be handled in further details in the future Radio/TV Shows.
It is a B-I-G shame for our American society how our veterans are handled.
STAF, Inc. demands better help and better solutions for our veterans' challenges.

Perhaps Cato said it best when he declared:
"Whoever will pretend to govern a People without regarding them,
will soon repent it."
(95 BC, Rome – April 46 BC, Utica), commonly known as (wikipedia.org/wiki/Cato_the_Younger) Cato the Younger
(Cato Minor) to distinguish him from his great-grandfather (Cato the Elder), was a politician and statesman in the late Roman Republic, and a follower of the Stoic philosophy. A noted orator, he is remembered for his stubbornness and tenacity (especially in his lengthy conflict with Julius Caesar), as well as his immunity to bribes, his moral integrity, and his famous distaste for the ubiquitous corruption of the period.
Marcus Porcius Cato (234 BC, Tusculum – 149 BC) was a Roman statesman, commonly referred to as Censorius
(the Censor), Sapiens (the Wise), Priscus (the Ancient), or Major, (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cato_the_Elder) Cato the Elder,
or Cato the Censor, (to distinguish him from his great-grandson, Cato the Younger) known for his conservatism and opposition to Hellenization.
The Liberal's Fiddle
Nero's 14 year reign as emperor of Rome is considered by many historians to be a period of tyrannical and extravagant rule by the unfavorable leader. So absorbed with wealth and fame, Nero sought to reconstruct Rome with huge palaces and temples along with a 120 foot golden statue of himself rather than rule in favor of the people and their individual liberties. His lofty visions of an empire turned stylish devalued the dollar to the point of economic ruin. As well did he find displeasure with the Christians whom he placed blame for the Great Fire that overtook the city in 64, choosing to illuminate his palace garden at night with their captured torched bodies. Further accounts also make the claim that Nero played the fiddle while the city burned, himself dressed in full theatrical costume as if he were on stage. In short, torture, murder, and excess define the reign of this tyrant, a man enslaved by his own passions and the lust for public adulation. In the end, he did what all tyrants and dictators seem to do when faced with a just insurrection of the citizenry - commit suicide.
Perhaps Cato said it best when he declared,
"Whoever will pretend to govern a People without regarding them, will soon repent it."
Regrettably, we are once again living in the time of Nero, only this time it is our own nation that is on fire - a conflagration set by the dirty hands of king-men who rejoice in the sufferings of the people and the demise of the Constitution. And in the distance, through all the smoke and haze, the rightly tuned ear can distinguish the riotous sound of the same fiddle being played without pause to the depressing tune of modern liberalism.
As did our Founding Fathers do
so should we too, today, build justice and strength, success and wealth.
Without the reigning in of government power, the people quickly lose their own and in the process their individual sovereignty, hard-earned fortunes, and sacred honor. Therefore, it is up to us to resist the pull of government increase and to ignore public sentiment and its cradling of immoral and gross conduct in order to reestablish a Republic built upon the foundation of Christ, "which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."

(1) Mardi Gras and (2) Lent defined with their related details and the origin of the words
Mar·di Gras
means: Fat Tuesday (French) - February[French : mardi, Tuesday + gras, fat (from the feasting on Mardi Gras before Lenten fasting).]
a. Shrove Tuesday, celebrated as a holiday in many places with carnivals, masquerade balls, and parades of costumed merrymakers.
Shrove Tuesday = also known as Pancake Tuesday and Pancake Day) is the day preceding Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent.
b. A carnival period coming to a climax on this day.
2. An occasion of great festivity and merrymaking.
pious = marked by or showing (click green) reverence for deity and devotion to divine worship
Lent
(click green here and below for further info)
(Dutch: Lente (Long Springtime); Latin: Quadragesima; Spanish: Cuaresma, "Of the Fortieth"[1]) is a solemn observance in the liturgical year of many Christian denominations, lasting for a period of approximately six weeks leading up to Easter Sunday. In the general Latin-rite and most Western denominations Lent is taken to run from Ash Wednesday to Maundy Thursday (Holy Thursday) or to Easter Eve.
The traditional purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer—through prayer, penance*), repentance, almsgiving, and self-denial. Its institutional purpose is heightened in the annual commemoration of Holy Week, marking the death and resurrection of Jesus, which recalls the events of the Passion of Christ on Good Friday, which then culminates in the celebration on Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
*) Penance is repentance of sins as well as the proper name of the Roman Catholic, Orthodox Christian, and Anglican Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation/Confession. It also plays a part in non-sacramental confession among Lutherans and other Protestants.
The word penance derives from Old French and Latin poenitentia, both of which derive from the same root meaning repentance, the desire to be forgiven (in English see contrition). Penance and repentance, similar in their derivation and original sense, have come to symbolize conflicting views of the essence of repentance, arising from the controversy as to the respective merits of "faith" and "good works." Word derivations occur in many languages.
During Lent, many of the faithful commit to fasting or giving up certain types of luxuries as a form of penitence. The Stations of the Cross, a devotional commemoration of Christ's carrying the Cross and of his execution, are often observed. Many Roman Catholic and some Protestant churches devoid their altars of candles, flowers, and other devotional offerings, while Crucifixes, religious statues, and other elaborate religious paraphernalia are often veiled in violet fabrics in solemn observance of this event. In certain pious Catholic countries, the consumption of meat is traditionally yet varyingly[2] self-abstained by the faithful, while grand religious processions and cultural customs are observed, and the faithful attempt to visit seven churches during Holy Week in honor of Jesus Christ heading to Mount Calvary.
Lent is traditionally described as lasting for forty days, in commemoration of the forty days which, according to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, Jesus spent fasting in the desert before the beginning of his public ministry, where he endured temptation by the Devil named Satanas.[3][4] However, different Christian denominations calculate the "forty days" of Lent differently. In most Western traditions the Sundays are not counted as part of Lent; thus the period from Ash Wednesday until Easter consists of 40 days when the Sundays are excluded. However in the Roman Catholic Church Lent is now taken to end on Holy Thursday rather than Easter Eve, and hence lasts 38 days excluding Sundays, or 44 days in total.
This event, along with its pious*) customs are observed by Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians, Anglicans, as well as some Baptists and Mennonites.
*) pious = devout - religious - godly - prayerful - devotional

______________________________________
The U.S. Congress in D.C.
has decided that "pizza is a vegetable".
Is it a wonder that our nation does not know what is healthy eating?
The Congress is making sure that two of the biggest problems in the school lunch program, pizza and french fries, are untouched.
The U.S. Congress: Anything that has at least 2 spoonfuls of tomato sauce is a vegetable.
The tomato sauce alone may and can be containing poisonous chemicals the "food" industry is using in their processed products.
Only natural food, preferably home-cooked for you to fully control what you & your family eat, can be natural, assuming the cooking process has been proper.
The Congress is totally wrong, this is fully outrageous.
The Congress made the decision only for political reasons.
This "decision" is shameful and harms our population.
Where is the D.C. law makers understanding?
Is this reasonable law making?
This additionally sickens our children and adults.
Our nation is over 80 % more or less either over-weight or obese & is getting sicker and sicker raising the sickness care costs. Those costs are among the highest worldwide, yet, the U.S. population is among the sickest worldwide.
Our children are getting fatter & sicker.
The nation suffers of drastically raising sickness levels.
Then The U.S. Congress has nerves to decide that unhealthy material (not food), pizza, is a vegetable.
Is there not enough confusion in the nation what to eat and what not to eat?
After some debate, Congress voted that anything containing two tablespoons of tomato sauce can be labelled a vegetable, putting pizza into the vegetable category.

Too many veterans are being neglected and left on their own.
The most recent research has discovered NEW information for understanding the reasons why exceptionally many veterans seem to suffer mental challenges and comit suicides. It may not be as was thought before. The treatments given to our suffering veterans have not helped.
STAF, Inc.'s President, Christian von Christophers, Ph.D., has in several occasions stated that the treatments are not suitable. He has also stated other reasons for our veterans' challenges and developed different solutions than what the veterans have been given.
