Agreed

I wonder how many citizens in Christs times were illegals or breaking the law. You really think Christ kept running to the Roman soldiers "Hey, HEY....there's a man over there that broke your law, go flog him"

The Roman Empire was over run with illegals (immigrants). The church are citizens FIRST of the Kingdom of God and then second to whatever pathetic nation they are in....our first duty lies with God's laws and his primary law is reaching lost souls

Oh...BTW...God broke Roman law by breaking Paul and Silas out of prison and then the church aided and abetted by lowing him in a basket over the city wall to escape!

This is something I can agree with. There is no need to punish those who have been working, and already supporting our economy. Those who come here for criminal purposes can stay, too...and face American justice.

Let's say I break into your house

A lady wrote the best letter in the Editorials
in ages!!! It explains things better than all
the baloney you hear on TV.

Her point:

Recently large demonstrations have taken place
across the country protesting the fact that Congress
is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration.

Certain people are angry that
the US might protect its own
borders, might make it harder
to sneak into this country and,
once here, to stay indefinitely.

Let me see if I correctly understand
the thinking behind these protests.
Let's say I break into your house.
Let's say that when you discover
me in your house, you insist that I leave.

But I say, "I've made all
the beds and washed the
dishes and did the laundry
and swept the floors. I've
done all the things you don't
like to do. I'm hard-working
and honest
(except for when I broke into your house).

According to the protesters:

You are Required to let me stay in your house
You are Required to add me to your family's insurance plan
You are Required to Educate my kids
You are Required to Provide other benefits to me & to my family

(my husband will do all of your yard work because
he is also hard-working and honest, except for that
breaking in part).

If you try to call the police or force me out,
I will call my friends who will picket your
house carrying signs that proclaim my
RIGHT to be there.

It's only fair, after all, because you have
a nicer house than I do, and I'm just
trying to better myself. I'm a hard-working
and honest, person, except for well,
you know, I did break into your house

And what a deal it is for me!!!

I live in your house, contributing only a
fraction of the cost of my keep, and
there is nothing you can do about it
without being accused of cold,
uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and
bigoted behavior.

Oh yeah, I DEMAND that you to learn
MY LANGUAGE!!! so you can
communicate with me.

Why can't people see how ridiculous
this is?! Only in America .
if you agree, pass it on (in English).
Share it if you see the value of it.

If not blow it off.........
along with your future Social Security
funds, and a lot of other things.

Prax, exalt the Kingdom of God all day long, but you don't have to put down any particular nation of men to do so. The good 'ol U.S. of A. may have some warts and all, but she's still a great place to be.

And in the story you cite about Paul and Silas, how come the church didn't let Silas down in a basket as well?

You weren't using "Captain America" as a pejorative, were you Bucky?

I already stated that I would report someone if they were a threat to another human being.

Would you report a kid for eating a grape from the grocery store produce department? That's called "grazing" by store managers, and is technically stealing.

You are reverse twisting and I am insulted by such an accusation.
