David Reel: Addressing border security and immigration reform

Stu Bykofsky: Sanctuary cities plan to defy immigration law, still
I see a strange, unlikely parallel between the promise of churches to resist deportation of “migrants” (correct term, illegal residents) and the action of churches 60 years ago to protect civil rights protestors.
