Sanctuary Chic

More on the case of illegal immigrant Elvira Arellano. Previous post here. Mark Tooley, American Spectator:

More revealingly, "sanctuary" is usually championed by well-heeled liberal elites hunting about for a politically palatable cause du jour. No Methodist or other liberal church elites were offering sanctuary to victims of Saddam Hussein. Not do they agitate over refugees from Fidel Castro. Indeed, the United Methodist Church helped fund Fidel Castro's lawyers in sending Elian Gonzalez back to Cuba in the 1990's. Their version of "sanctuary" only extends to the contrived victims of U.S. policies, and rarely to anybody else.

I suppose we'll be seeing the T-shirts soon.
