Dr. Joel Hunter, the pastor of an evangelical http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2659 in Orlando, Florida, is among a growing coalition of religious leaders publicly criticizing opponents of granting amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.
Catholic churches across the U.S. recently held services to honor “International Migrants Day.” Priests calling for illegal alien amnesty compared modern-day immigrants to Mary and Joseph. Meantime, the group Christians for Comprehensive Immigration Reform is urging Republican presidential candidates to stop what it calls “the hateful tenor of the debate” over illegal immigration.
Dr. Hunter, the pastor of Northland Church in Orlando, says the coalition wants to “diffuse and ratchet down the rhetoric.””A lot of the rhetoric that is coming out of this is pretty radicalizing,” says Hunter. “That is to say, it paints the most horrible picture and puts Americans in the frame of mind that we are in impending danger from all of these illegal ‘aliens’ — an interesting term there. ‘Aliens’ is such a pejorative term anyhow; it sounds like they’re not even from this planet.”
