Cohabitation not in wedlock was illegal in Wisconsin 'till a couple of
years ago.  What does `legality' have to do with anything?

Refugees are only those that WE certify!  The royal WE?  Ronnie and you?
Try telling that to those who don't have their dogtags marked `refugee'.

The whole point behind the sanctuary campaign is that our government certifies
only refugees from leftist countries, thus sacrificing a moral policy for a
political one bereft of much humanity.  The sanctuary movement has been
forced to do what our government should be doing.
