Anti-Immigration Billboards Sprout in Denver
Continue to pray that God will lead our lawmakers in finding a solution to stopping illegal immigration and also a way to help everyone who wants to come to the United States legally.
(CNSNews.com) - Groups opposed to illegal immigration unveiled two of three planned billboards in Denver, Colorado, this week.
"Welcome to Sanctuary City: Relax, You Made It!" one of the two billboards says.
By executive order of the mayor, Denver respects its "diversity," protects the human rights of its residents and "welcomes all" (including foreign-born residents) to "share Denver's warm hospitality." Critics say the executive order allows illegals to live in the city with impunity.
The second billboard -- addressed to President Bush, the Colorado governor and Denver mayor -- says U.S. troops "did not die for illegal sanctuary.""
The messages were produced by Billboard Colorado, a group formed by Denver radio talk-show host Peter Boyles.
Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) attended the unveiling of the "sanctuary" billboard on Thursday. "I guarantee you, the momentum is on our side and this billboard is a reflection of that," he was quoted as saying.
Jim Gilchrist, founder of the Minuteman Project, was there as well. His group reportedly plans to raise money to put up similar billboards in Massachusetts, Arizona, and California.
