WSJ pimping for more cheap labor. Personally, I think this article is flat out disinformation. What about the rule of law. What other country on the face of the earth allows people to wonder in and then collect all sorts of government handouts? Name one.
Yes, come to this country, but come LEGALLY and through a orderly process that doesn’t wreak havoc on our nation.
I'd be interested in what sort of biblical exegesis this “conservative evangelical” pastor can possibly use to legitimize deliberate lawbreaking. Is there a government official somewhere ordering people to curse Christ or disobey the Bible? Fine; break that law. But immigration laws don't fit into that category.
Over the last decade and a half, we spent many thousands of dollars so my wife and several family members could immigrate legally. About 145 years ago, my father's ancestors immigrated legally from Italy to the United States. My mother's ancestors came here legally in the early 1700s.
We have immigration laws for a reason to encourage the types of workers we need and discourage workers we don't need. If the laws need to be changed, then change them. But encouraging lawbreakers is wrong for a whole host of reasons.
