On Tuesday night, a group of 40 Episcopal bishops from around the country attended a weekly vigil in Douglas, AZ, held for those who have died trying to cross illegally into the U.S. The advocacy group known as Frontera de Cristo has been conducting the vigils along the Pan-American Highway since 2000.
The group placed crosses on the sidewalk and spoke the names of those who died attempting the illegal crossing.
The bishops are in Arizona for a meeting of the House of Bishops of the Episcopal Church, and have been visiting with illegal aliens and listening to their stories of hardship.
Rev. Kirk Smith, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona, told the Tucson Daily: “It's been a great experience so far, a great eye-opener so far. The most moving thing has been to have some personal contact with the people who are affected.”
Smith continued: “We talked to some people who had been caught this morning and sent back.”
While the bishops have no problem expressing sorrow for those who have so little respect for this country that their first act here—is to enter illegally, they seem to have no such concern for the thousands of American citizens who have been killed by illegal aliens.
Why don’t the bishops visit the family of murdered rancher Rob Krentz, whose killer was tracked back to the Mexican border?
Or, perhaps they would like to spend some time with the family of 3-year-old Marten Kudlis, who was killed by an illegal alien with a lengthy arrest record, as he sat in a Denver-area ice cream shop with his parents.
Or, they could travel to Virginia Beach to offer their support to the Kunhardt and Tranchant families, who both lost teenage daughters to a drunk-driving illegal alien.
I doubt though, that any of the bishops have the courage to face these grieving families...doing so, may force them reconsider their open-borders position.

Dave Gibson, why are you sitting there telling others who to hold a vigil for?
If you feel that strongly about it, YOU hold a vigil for those that you want a vigil held for.
YOU! But you won't because you are all talk and no action.
Anyone else that agrees with you should walk the walk and hold that vigil you want so badly.
The Episcopal Diocese is indeed guilty of being ignorant, dim-witted, stupid, bone-brained, dumn-assed, etc etc.
But that is almost nothing, compared to the Catholic Church !!! The Catholic Church should be taken before Congressional Investigative Committees, the Pope should be sent to prison, and all the priests should go with him, to prison, to answer for their crimes of aiding and abbeding illegal aliens, ...and while they are in prison, they can get a dose of their own medicine. They've been practicing Pediphilia on young boys for decades, so the Homies in prison can show them how it is really done.
Why are the open-borders crowd so welcoming to 40 million illegal aliens? The Democrats see new voters who will be casting their votes for whoever they are told to. The Epicopaliens and the Catholics see new parishoners who will be paying their tithing every Sunday.
Very well put and on target. Let's add the fact that 8 years of George Bush' pro-illegal cheap-labor non-enforcement humping and pumping has put this country in the sewer. He and the Pope could wind away the hours in the pen playing scrabble, but Bush should be in the high-kilowatt Lazyboy instead. Obama, Reid, and Napoitaco are DETERMINED they are going to cram amnesty down America's throat. If patriots want to stop this once and for all, they are going to have to take adverse actions - and I don't mean at the ballot box.
SIX THOUSAND AMERICANS ARE KILLED EVERY YEAR BY ILLEGAL ALIENS - NOT TO MENTION ALL THE AMERICASN WHO WOULD BE WORKING IF GUTLESS AMERICANS DIDN'T HIRE ILLEGALS
Thank you, Mr. Gibson for asking the important questions. I too have wondered why there is never a mention of the many innocent people who die at the hands of illegal aliens. Sometimes, I think we're living in a parallel universe to those in this country who turn their backs on legal, loyal, taxpaying citizens to aid and abet lawbreakers. The families who've lost loved ones must suffer twice the sorrow in knowing this.
WHY IS THE GUILTY PRAISED ? THEY WERE BREAKING INTO A COUNTRY ILLEGALLY?PRAISE THE INNOCENT AMERICAN CITIZENS EFFECTED BY ILLEGAL MURDERERS DRUNK DRIVERS RAPISTS BURGLARS ROBBERS KIDNAPPERS ??
