Religious leaders should be about God's work. Which is spreading the gospel. Very few are doing that, or even know what the gospel is.
What harsh laws. The state laws are only re-enforcing federal law and established deportation methods. They are not advocating harsh or cruel treatment and to my knowledge deny needed care or food to them.
Even Jesus told the Christians to obey Caeser's laws; maybe these leaders could find that in the Bible!
