Bishop slams Carey’s call to limit immigration
Friday 15 January 2010
by Adrian Roberts
A Church of England bishop has warned that the former archbishop of Canterbury’s call to political parties to limit immigration into Britain could play into the hands of racists.
The Bishop of Ripon and Leeds the Right Rev John Packer said the views of Lord Carey and the parliamentary cross-party group on balanced migration could lead to a lack of tolerance and welcome towards asylum-seekers.
He added that the emphasis should instead be placed on issues surrounding poverty and unemployment in the run-up to the general election.

Protest against county sheriff
US: Thousands of Latino immigrants in Arizona have protested against a notorious county sheriff accused by a federal grand jury of “abusing” immigration laws to discriminate against Mexican migrant workers.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio sparked the court case and protests at the weekend by ordering heavy-handed “crime sweeps” – sending squads of officers into immigrant areas to clamp down on supposed traffic violations, but then using the evidence to deport workers suspected of having entered the country illegally.
