Question Your answer to illegal immigration.

As a Christian, and, as a part of the Nation of Christ, what are your thoughts and answer to the illegal immigration problem in our country?

Here in the West we see many illegals, and have seen many of them come to God and receive salvation.

From a Christian standpoint what do you think should be done about the problem, understanding that if they had not swam the river illegally, many of them in our churches would not be saved today!

How do we balance this problem out from a Christian standpoint?

Just some thoughts on the matter!

Just throwing some ideas out there...

If we created a law that gave the death penalty to anyone being in our country illegally I don't think too many illegals would be here after the first couple of sentences.

Offer a free flight to China? I hear there is a great big wall over there with no graffiti on it.

Easy, we don't have to do anything at all. Couple more years of our great leader and they'll be better off just staying where they are. Problem solved.

NIce one John!

Christian or not...I say we should treat them as an invading foreign force and repel them with the full strength of military on the border. Once they start getting mowed down by .50 Cals and such they may think twice about trying to get here illegally.
