19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

If you are worried about such things and angry at the government and it's policy and at your neighbors, whether you consider them proper and legal citizens or not, you are not believing this. I have 8 kids and have at times been without work, without insurance without much of anything but I kept trusting the Lord to see to my needs, and He always has. My fingers would cramp up trying to give you all of my testimony of how the Lord has taken care of me and my family.

People who are particularly mad at the gmt and illegal aliens think that they are provided for by the gmt, or even by their own hands given the chance to work for 25 bucks per hour. This is not the case. How could we ever love our neighbor as we love ourselves if we are in a dog eat dog competition for food and clothes with them?

Thank you for the education...yes, that is how we should live...ideally. However, even though I have no family and kids (at this pont), I am not willing to forego food, clothing, shelter, and my future in the name of allowing millions of outsiders to illegally break into the nation to take our jobs, or take our money through government programs. I guess that means I'm falling short of what God wants from me. The Founding Fathers did, too. Those who fought in World Wars 1, 2 and now 3 have fallen short as well. They had to answer for their sins, and I will, too.

But in the meantime, that doesn't mean I will sit idly by while our nation is invaded from without, and corrodes from within. Sorry bro, but I can't just smile and whistle "Don't Worry, Be Happy", while the country I served for 11 years is stolen out from under me. So if that makes me a sinner, I'm not alone.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
