6. Annunciation House is doing remarkable work

A dear friend went down to volunteer for two weeks recently. They normally only take volunteers for an entire year, but they need emergency help now.

8. They're complicit.

Right wing churches are a huge part of Chump's base. They're probably cheerleading this. I'm sure that Jesus would approve.

9. A number of denominations are offering help and support of some kind.

I've read that the Episcopal, Lutheran, Catholic, Methodist and UCC churches are trying to get involved, although so far it doesn't seem that the right-wing evangelicals are very interested.

11. they ARE helping

You're right on both points. Plenty of church organizations are quite involved (and have been for a long, long time). And the evangelicals seem to have misplaced Jesus somewhere. I think he's been replaced by Trump?

10. Catholic charities here in Tucson is handling that front.

That way Salvation Army and others can keep consentrating on other homeless population.

Volunteers Say They're Being Targeted For Leaving Water To Help Migrants:
No More Deaths says some volunteers face misdemeanor charges for supporting migrants on restricted federal lands.

Clergy and lay leaders from the Unitarian Universalist Association led Sunday’s action, with representation from Presbyterian, United Church of Christ and Jewish denominations who flew in from across the country, said Michael Givens, a spokesperson for the Unitarian Universalist Association’s humanitarian arm.

13. Many have been busy trying to help.

https://www.interfaithimmigration.org/about/organizations/

The Interfaith Immigration Coalition (IIC) is a partnership of faith-based organizations committed to enacting fair and humane immigration reform that reflects our mandate to welcome the stranger and treat all human beings with dignity and respect. Coalition members work together to advocate for just and equitable immigration policies, educate faith communities, and serve immigrant populations around the country.

Just one example:

TAPACHULA, Mexico — Pope Francis has donated $500,000 to assist migrants attempting to travel through Mexico, but who are increasingly being impeded by Mexican officials from reaching the U.S. border.

Those migrants who travel the length of Mexico are also being impeded in their attempts to apply for asylum in the United States and remain in precarious conditions south of the border.

The donation “will be distributed among 27 projects in 16 dioceses and Mexican religious congregations that have asked for help to continue providing housing, food and basic necessities to these brothers and sisters,” the Vatican charity Peter’s Pence said in an April 27 statement.

The Vatican already approved projects run by seven dioceses and three religious congregations: the Scalabrinians, the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary and the Hermanas Josefinas.

15. The Methodist and Lutheran churches have put out a statement

And the Catholic church continues to offer sanctuary to people who can get to a church.

These guys in Arizona seem to have the right idea too.
