CLEVELAND The two candidates vying in Ohios 9th Congressional District faced off in a friendly debate Monday that still managed to draw the ideological distinctions between the two candidates.

U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D., Toledo) who is seeking election to a 17th term, and Cleveland conservative activist Richard May (R.) jousted over immigration, national debt, and the Affordable Care Act.

Miss Kaptur said comprehensive immigration reform is ready in bill form in the House, controlled by Republicans.

The most important act we can take is for the Speaker [of the House] who comes from Ohio to bring the bill to the floor. It has festered far too long, Miss Kaptur said, referring to Rep. John Boehner (R., West Chester). She said labor trafficking of workers who are here under illegal status needs to be talked about publicly.

Mr. May disagreed about an immigration bill, saying we dont need that much change. We need to enforce the laws that we have.

We have plenty of people that can do any kind of work in America. We dont need thousands, millions of people coming through Mexico, Mr. May said.

In response to her jibe about the House Speaker, he told Miss Kaptur to tell Senate Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid to allow 380 bills that are sponsored by Republicans to be brought to a vote.

The debate was held at a luncheon of the Cleveland City Club in front of about 70 people. It is only the second joint appearance of the two candidates so far after an event with other candidates last week in Port Clinton. The Cleveland City Club is missing out on its normal contingent of debates this year because Gov. John Kasich, the Republican incumbent, refuses to debate his Democratic opponent, Ed FitzGerald.

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - A father of five is putting U.S. immigration policy prohibiting arrests on church grounds to the test in Tucson, Arizona. The only loophole in the policy, is allowing an arrest based on an imminent threat.

Francisco Cordova hasnt stepped foot outside an Arizona church where he has sought refuge for more than a week. Hes supported by religious leaders who are fed up waiting for immigration reform who are taking matters into their own hands.

Cordova is openly defying a deportation order to return to Mexico. He said his children are his motivation to stay.

Maybe they are going to be something like me, just like a construction worker or something, he said. And I dont want them to be like me, I want them to be something better.

Nationwide dozens of religious organizations have taken advantage of the policy; offering sanctuary to immigrants. Locally, the Coalition of Faiths is organizing the effort and actively seeking hosts in North Texas.

If churches in Dallas start participating in this movement it will be a real proclamation of the Gospel, said Pastor Owen Ross.

Christs Foundry United Methodist in Dallas isnt considered a host church since it lacks a shower. But Pastor Ross said he is prepared to provide temporary shelter in an emergency.

To make sure families arent being ripped apart if there is a way to stop it, he said. But for now, immigrants such as Cordova are safe from arrest, protected by pastors willing to defy the law.
