In point of fact, the government used proper enforcement techniques to verify the crime and provide information leading to arrests under federal law. Religions and their believers are not and never have been, above the law. Groups who wish immigration laws changed should write their congressmen, not break the law by smuggling in people from Central America (or anywhere else). And besides, what the hell do they think they're changing by smuggling in a few hundred people anyway? -JCP-
