Obeying the laws of the land are also part of the gospel. Entering a country illegally , emphasis on illegally, is also against the gospels.

If these illegals were around when Jesus fed the masses with fish, these clowns would have pestered Jesus to make more fish for another 10 days and bully Him to speak their language.

Illegals? Free-loaders who steal, lie, and break the law to get into the country? Then molest our children, kill our people, and laugh in the face of our laws and culture? It’s intolerable.

It goes back to the Social Gospel introduced almost 150 years ago. Leftist claptrap nourished the entire time by progressives.

Pelosi is mentioned in the first line. The article is a history lesson.

“But is advocacy on behalf of immigrants and refugees also part of the gospel?

The MAIN issues of immigration & amnesty are separate and distinct in law, context and custom from “illegal immigration” in this modern age and not near the same as “migration” in the classical or late biblical era.

The question to you might be, what would you do if you were in their shoes?
I was totally, 100% against it! because my stepson was.ousted from good-paying painting and construction jobs.
Then I put myself in their shoes.

Heck yes, I’d jump the fence, too. Have you been to Mexico? I have, over 20 times. In fact, I have been to 27 countries. If I lived In the places I have treated to, I’d do whatever it took to get into the USA. Period.
Think about it.

Then really ask, as Jesus is the creator of all human beings, and values all lives the same, having formed them in their mother’s wombs the same as you, knowing them just as well as He knows you....what would YOU do?
What would HE think?
Take a minute to ponder before replying, please.

This article is for passing the Senate Amnesty bill , that is 1200 pages of advancement of socialism, inundating the USA with 3rd world socialist immigrants and creating millions of democrat voters and helping the democrat/marxist party.

this is what you are for

I tried responding to this with a comment on the site, but how do you argue with such deluded and determined ‘right’ thinkers?

These morons live in a completely surreal universe and immune to any sort of logic.

There are legal ways to emigrate to the US. Just as you had legal ways to visit dozens of countries.

I'd love to just show up in countries that would take care of me, too, but it's appropriately considered illegal to do that without permission.

Just because someone has a good reason to lust or covet someone else’s situation, that doesn't mean you take it for yourself.

You are condoning coveting, breaking laws, and stealing from others by endorsing having illegals come here.

How often do you call Satan, God and God, Satan? It appears you have your Bible confused with something else.

Sick.

There is a DIFFERENCE between “support for immigrants” and encouraging an uncontrolled flood of ILLEGAL immigration for the purposes of CREATING A DEPENDENT CLASS OF VOTERS, TO SUSTAIN PERPETUAL POWER AND CONTOL.

The Amnesty bill will mean the destruction of the USA and freedom and the victory for socialism/evil

This article is for passing the Senate Amnesty bill , that is 1200 pages of advancement of socialism, inundating the USA with 3rd world socialist immigrants and creating millions of democrat voters and helping the democrat/marxist party.

this is what you are for

you others supporting immigration are for the dissolution of the USA and the ending of freedom
