Whether you love or hate Rep. Tom Tancredo, you’ve got to admit that this is pretty funny. Members of United Voices for United Families, who work out of Our Lady of Guadalupe Mission Church in Chicago, apparently had a meeting in Tancredo’s congressional office and declared it a place of sanctuary for immigrants.:

The group consisted of 10 members, women, men and children who had a scheduled appointment with the congressman’s office. They met with legislative assistant Andrew Good to discuss the issue of the mixed status families in America and to bring a very important message.

The group knowing that Congressman Tancredo has a very racist reputation when it comes to Latino immigrants and the issue of Comprehensive Immigration Reform still choose to bring him a message of truth.

The message was brought to the Congressman as a people of faith. Inside of the office the celebration of the Holy Eucharist was performed, all participated, even Mr. Good. During the Celebration of the Eucharist the office was declared a Holy Sanctuary for all immigrants around the world. (Pols emphasis)
