Church leaders for Candidate contrast: immigration reform Perry vs. Romney By Russell Contreras writer I Associated Press ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -A Unitarian church in New Mexico sends supplies to the border for recent deportees. A coalition of church leaders gathers under a statue of colonial America religious figure Anne Hutchinson at the Massachusetts Statehouse to denounce immigration checks by police. A Methodist minister in Texas recites Isaiah 58:6, a passage about loosening the bonds of injustice, as she's thrown in jail after protesting alongside illegal immigrant students outside a U.S. senator's office. As some states pass laws aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration and federal lawmakers balk at passing any immigration reforms, religious leaders from various denominations are jumping into the debate. They're holding rallies, walking in the Arizona desert, gathering testimonies from immigrants. The leaders fast, get arrested, and sometimes put their own health on the line in an attempt to draw attention to what they see as inhumane treatment of immigrants and to the laws that target them. "Some of us feel very strongly about this," said Rev. Peter Morales, president of the Unitarian Universalist Association, who was arrested last year with immigrant advocates in Arizona for protesting Arizona's muchdebated, tough immigration law "It's a humanitarian issue." From New York to Utah and across denominations, religious leaders have used their positions from the pulpit in an effort to influence legislation or rally church members in protest. Earlier this year, for example, more than 20 religious leaders and officials with church-operated charities in Alabama spoke out against a stringent new anti-immigration law that they said would block them from providing food, shelter and transportation to the poor. Meanwhile, the Rev. Angela Herrera, an assistant minister with the First Unitarian Church of Albuquerque, helped organized her members and other religious leader in successful raffles against an effort by New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez to overturn a state law allowing illegal immigrants to obtain drivers' licenses. And last year, St. Leo's Catholic Church in Queens, N.Y., sent Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., testimonies from more than 230 people asking for immigration reform. It was one of many Catholic churches around the country that pushed immigration reform. "Immigration is a God event," said Rev. Lorenza Andrade Smith, the United Methodist pastor who was arrested outside of the offices of Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson, R-Texas. Many religious leaders point to immigration stories in the Bible as personal reflections that influence their calling to push immigration reform. Christopher C. Hope, the reach-out now director of Pentecostal Tabernacle, a church located between Harvard and MIT in Cambridge, Mass., said he often points out that Jesus and his family had to emigrate to Egypt from Israel to avoid death by King Herod, and God ordered the Israelites that "the stranger who sojourns with you shall be to you as the native among you." There's also a practical reason for churches to embrace immigrants and immigration reform: the influx has helped revive some churches. Bishop Brian Greene, senior pastor of Pentecostal Tabernacle, saw his church grow from less than 50 members to close to 400 in 10 years after the church began recruiting immigrant students and scholars. The sojourner is a hot topic, he said. Hope said the church helped convince the city of Cambridge and some Massachusetts schools and colleges to publicly support the DREAM act - a stalled federal proposal that would allow illegal immigrant students a pathway to citizenship through college and military service. But Greene said the church has to be careful since many of his members are legal immigrants who have gone through a long process to stay in the country, and they are now living apart from their families. He doesn't want to advocate too much on one side of an issue and risk alienating some members. "It's important to listen to both sides," he said. Still, some advocates for tougher immigration restrictions say that the views of some religious leaders may run counter to those held by members of their congregations. They point to a 2009 Zogby poll that found that 64 percent of mainline Protestants support enforcement measures that encouraged illegal immigrants to return to their native countries, while only 24 percent support conditional legalization. Smith said that shouldn't matter. "Just because you're in the majority doesn't make it right," said Smith, who recently shared her work among immigrants with a group of United Methodists at an Albuquerque conference. "There are laws, but there are also laws that are unjust. I'm trying to communicate the love of God. So if I see that a law is not communicating the love of God, I will speak out." Greene said the public popularity of any political stance doesn't mean it triumphs God's word. "To me, it's about, what does the word say?" he said. During a recent church service at the First Unitarian Church of Albuquerque, member Kristine Olson, 59, hosted a table with books on the borderlands and collected supplies for immigrants who had recently been deported. Olson said she and other members were planning a trip to Mexico to personally give hygiene products to the immigrants who had been separated from family. "Our way of worship is through service," she said. Smith said it's important to meet church members where they are in their faith and not push too hard. "But I am called to do this," said Smith. "And I have to be obedient to God's call." By Kasie Hunt writer I Associated Press MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - Campaigning just five miles and a few minutes apart, Republican presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Rick Perry showed first-in-thenation primary state voters just how starkly different they are. Romney, who leads the state's polls, has spent years campaigning in New Hampshire and has a home on a nearby lake, held an hour-long town hall meeting Friday outside Manchester. Perry, a much newer presidential candidate on his sixth visit to the state, filed his official paperwork to appear on the state's presidential primary ballot, met briefly with voters at a restaurant and gave a boisterous speech to social conservatives. Romney held private meetings in Manchester and spent the evening taking questions from voters, covering fiscal policy, the environment, defense, even NASA funding. He largely ignored his Republican rivals and went after President Barack Obama. "The president's philosophy," Romney said, "is extraordinarily misguided. What they have done over the last three years is every time they've seen an area they thought needed addressing, they put more government in, and what it did was it caused the private sector to retreat." Romney is far ahead in the polls in the state. His organization is longrunning and stable, and he faces challenges for the support of conservative voters. Perry, his chief rival in money, staff and organization elsewhere in the country, spent his time defending his debate performances and campaign trail mistakes, and attacking Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, and businessman Herman Cain. Romney "has been on opposite sides of a lot of issues. He was for banning handguns. Now he's Mr. Second Amendment," Perry said during a radio interview at the Barley House restaurant across from the New Hampshire Statehouse. "Governor Romney in his book initially said his health care plan would be good for America. And then he took that sentence out when the book came out in paperback. So the issue is, Who are we really going to trust to stand up every day and be consistent? I have been consistent." In a spirited speech at the socially conservative Cornerstone Action's banquet, Perry cracked jokes, talked baseball, quoted from Proverbs and waved his one-page flat tax filing form in the air. Romney is businesslike, calm, usually careful. Perry is aggressive, spirited and pointed in conviction. They could hardly provide New Hampshire voters with two more different candidates to choose from, in style, focus or substance. Romney came to his town hall surrounded by a few of his longest-serving and most influential advisers, business leaders and political operatives. He opened his remarks with an anecdote about his father, former Michigan Gov. George Romney, to describe why the economy is in trouble. "He said there's nothing as vulnerable as entrenched success," Romney told the crowd of about 100. "His idea was that some groups of people or companies or nations become so used to their success that they become complacent, they become fat, lazy, and other upstarts are able to rush past them." Romney has worked hard in New Hampshire for months, almost since he lost his bid for the 2008 nomination. He's focused relentlessly on his economic message, a pitch that plays well with independent-minded voters in the state. He avoids the social issues that tripped him up last time, including abortion and gay marriage. While he was on message during his appearance on the trail, his campaign was left to deal with yet more accusations that he had flip-flopped on a major issue important to conservatives. It's a charge left over from the last campaign, and one he's been unable to shake. On Friday, Democrats seized on comments he made in Pittsburgh, where he said he wasn't sure what was causing global warming - remarks they portrayed as a shift from a previous position, though Romney had said as much before. Perry, by contrast, is on his sixth visit to the state since he announced his presidential run in midAugust. He's far behind in the polls in New Hampshire and probably will focus on the caucuses in Iowa and the primaries in South Carolina and Florida. He arrived, as always, accompanied by a few of personal aides and a sizable security contingent. His central message is his job creation record in Texas.
