Postville: Religious Leaders Make Mockery of Their Faith & Ethics

The callous immorality of open-borders theology is beginning to infect local pastors.

The intellectual bankruptcy and juvenile morality of trendy open-borders clergy is on an embarrassing public display during events marking the first anniversary of ICE raids of the Postville, Iowa kosher meatpacking plant.

Many of these are the same clergy who remained silent for years as the meatpacking plant physically endangered its workers and violated child laborers.

Like silent witnesses to pedophilia, these clergy were voiceless for years while the meatpacker workers — especially children — were chewed up by an immoral corporation.  Now these clergy have the shameless audacity to blame immigration laws for the collapse of the business and the misery of the workers. Lutheran, Catholic and United Methodist leaders say the lesson of Postville is that Congress should provide an amnesty to 12-20 million illegal foreign workers and dependents.  In effect, they seem to want to make sure that unemployed U.S. workers don’t get a crack at the estimated 8.3 million jobs the illegal workers currently hold.
