[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey all you “Christian patriots.” How do you justify wanting to put a stop to the most redeeming quality of this nation, that it is a melting pot? How do you justify going against what the Bible clearly lays out and what our country was founded on?

Leviticus 19:33-34 “When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.”

Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, Inc.

Please explain why these words mean absolutely nothing to you. I am not saying the border should be wide open. But there should be an adequate system to let people in so that they can have a chance at a better life. If you don’t agree, then you are not living your life in the spirit of Jesus. [/quote]

Just stop.  
The US cannot take in all the migrants from around the world who are "yearning to be free."  We cannot house, feed, clothe, and provide all the social services we have to everyone in the world who wants to come here.  It is not possible.

What you fail to recognize is that this country is one of the most generous in the world when it comes to welcoming immigrants - who come here LEGALLY.

Scripture also commands man to follow law.  These migrants entering illegally are breaking our laws.  And, should be held accountable for that.  [/quote]

I said we need an adequate system. I didn’t say to open the border. Those of you saying they need to get in line and follow the law fail to understand there IS NO LINE for them to get in. What would you do if your family was in a war torn country and your only chance at survival was finding the border and hoping for the best? Do you think most of these people have the ability to get on the internet and figure out the proper channels of our years long process? To properly research US immigration laws? You realize they are coming from homes with dirt floors and communities in shambles. What do you expect them to do?[/quote]
