"Giving an undocumented immigrant a ride to work, offering them shelter, offering them sacrament: All of these acts are, with just the slightest interpretation, criminalized in the bill."

My home state tries to pass all sorts of insane bills like teaching intelligent design in schools and abortion restrictions based on their "Christian" values so I suppose this falls right into what Jesus would want. I guess the Bible advocates against helping someone who might be sick, hungry or in need of work right in the same chapter that it says homosexuals are going to Hell?
