It only hurts the economy and its congregants.

The Reverend Roger Williams of the First Baptist Church in Glen Cove was the subject of a glowing article on his efforts to help fight against ICE agents on Long Island, invoking MLK on the protests.
He tries to wrap himself in the cloth of Martin Luther King. But while King was fighting for the civil rights of American citizens, Wiliams is supporting illegal immigrants over the congregants of his church, who were predominantly legal American citizens.
Illegal immigration has had a terrible impact on the African-American community. These people here illegally are taking jobs away from African-Americans and suppressing their wages.
They are flooding their schools, taking away needed resources for African-American children.
They flood our emergency rooms, making African-American patients in emergency rooms wait up to six hours to see a doctor.
So why would a leader within the African-American community support more of this and oppose efforts to enforce our immigration laws?
It just goes to show that many of these churches are linked into the Democratic political machine. Many Democratic officials who have been fierce advocates on behalf of illegal immigrants are part of the machine that flows money to these churches, in which their clergy are beholden to the party supplying these funds.
The cycle is bad for the taxpayer and bad for the congregants of those churches. Many of these church leaders are selling out their members to keep the bucks flowing in.
It’s time for the church members to ask questions as to why their leaders are betraying their interests.
