The illegal immigrant movement possibly gained its first “face” or “star” in the person of Elvira Arellano who was arrested outside a Catholic church in Los Angeles and deported to Mexico on Sunday.
Perhaps thinking she was in a remake of the 80s movie “Highlander”, she had spent the past year hiding out in a “sanctuary church” in Chicago. During this time, according to other reports, she was also speaking in other churches on behalf of the movement.
There’s little doubt her speeches in these churches were replete with the message of Christ’s compassion for the poor and less fortunate. What there is some doubt about, though, is if any of her sermons also invoked the story of Christ confronting the Pharisees’ lackeys when they challenged Him on the morality of paying taxes to the Roman government. Of course, Christ sent these lackeys packing by responding, “Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s”.
Being suckers for the antiquated Constitutional notion of “rule of law”, we’ve always felt that one of the lessons from this story was to first obey the laws of the land before you start throwin' around Jesus’ name.
