He says that by allowing illegal-immigrant volunteers, a new law will
aid terrorism.

Washington - A new law that insulates religious groups from
prosecution if they use illegal immigrants as volunteers drew outrage
Monday from U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, who said it will protect
terrorists and that he'll work to repeal it.
"This provision opens a hole in our immigration system so big, a
terrorist could drive a truck bomb through it," Tancredo, a Littleton
Republican, said in a statement.
"Terrorists in the United States have used religious organizations as
fronts before," he said. "This provides legal cover for any church,
synagogue, mosque or group that calls itself a religion to aid and
abet illegals who may pose a national security threat."
Written by Sen. Robert Bennett, R-Utah, the provision shields
religious groups from a federal law against knowingly transporting,
concealing, harboring or shielding an illegal immigrant.
