[net.religion] It Can't Happen Here

Re the right of sanctuary: I'd like to see an illegal alien try to take
sanctuary at the local coven's meeting place or the local Lodge.  The police
would siege the place with great celerity.  There is only a debate because
it happens to be a Christian church.  The law is not supposed to favor one
religion over another, and so the right of sanctuary is impossible for the
government to administer.
