The Associated Press has a story today about illegal immigrants leaving Arizona in response to the state's employer sanctions law that goes into effect January 1. One pastor talks about illegals being fed up with "living in terror". Terror? I guess being caught by law enforcement when you are a criminal is now "terror". Of course the next question is, if that is terror, what is crashing airliners into buildings?
These "terrorized" illegals must now choose where to go now that Arizona is becoming less hospitable. Some plan on moving back to their native lands. Others are checking out the immigration laws of neighboring states. Perhaps, some will even move to LakotaLand where they can roam and live tax-free.

A pastor you say? Not surprising really. Try this one on pastor: I'm tired of "living in terror" from the IRS by having to pay taxes. Taxes that keep going up in part due to lobbying from people like you urging us to do more via government welfare programs. I reviewed the taxes I paid in 2007. Federal income tax, State income tax, Local income tax, Medicare, Social Security, Occupational Privilege taxes, Property Taxes, and estimated sales taxes. It was staggering. Let's just say I LONG passed "tithing" to the government. Are you gonna take up my cause, pastor? No? I didn't think so.
Maybe I'll go hang out with the Lakota after all. . .
This is tangential to your point, however, the mention of the pastor made me think of Mike Huckabee and identity politics. The governor seems like a good, decent Christian man. However, beyond that I don't find that I have much in common with him other than his pro life record. I don't understand why many Christians have gotten sucked into identity politics in this case and don't seem to want to look beyond the surface. The pastor you reference in your post is a case in point that you really have to dig deeper. Other than Huckabee's pro life position, he really isn't that different from the many leftist ministers that run mainline denominations today. He's not quite gone to the point of saying illegals are tired of "living in terror" but he was (is?) for amnesty. Health care, foreign policy, and being weak on criminals are just are few of the other major differences I have with him. Granted, the pro-life position is a big deal. But there are other candidates who fit that bill too.
