A group of 45 people say they will assist the Alliance for Collaboration with the Hispanic Community, a non-profit that will attempt to provide a safety net for the families of the 350 workers arrested in a raid at the Columbia Poultry Farm, a processing plant….
Deacon Gabriel Cuervo, a regional coordinator for the Catholic Charities of the Piedmont Region, said a number of churches and pastors will help.
“We have a lot of pastors who are willing to help,” said Adela Mendoza, a Hispanic Outreach Program Director.
St. Francis Episcopal Church, which has a strong Hispanic ministry, will also assist, she said.
Depending on their areas of origin (parts of Mexico and Guatemala), these poultry workers may speak a Mayan dialect as their primary language, making translation problems even more difficult
If they are here illegally, I hope these pastors will help them to see that they have sinned by breaking multiple laws to come here and work. Then, I hope they call on the illegals to repent and go home. That will open up jobs for U.S. citizens. With the hard times here, every job counts.
One more example of why we need to amend the US Constitution to reflect that children born in the US MUST have one parent whom is already a US citizen BEFORE granting citizenship to that child….it is LONG overdue.
