I agree with the new Alabama law. Now, I’d really be impressed if they actually enforced it — and sent the bill to the Federal Government for failing to protect the border in the first place.
The good churches have plenty of other opportunities to show their love, grace, mercy, etc. – go to U.S. citizens in need in the jails, hospitals, poor neighborhoods, schools, etc. It shouldn’t be difficult to find U.S. citizens that would benefit from a little churchly attention. Or, if they really wanted to be helpful to the illegal immigrants, they could escort the illegals back to where they came from, or at least to deportation officers, but I’m sure that would become problematic.
If you really want to talk CRUELTY – what about the nasty rape/murders performed by illegals on U.S. soil? There have been several in my area in NJ over the past several years.[/quote]
So, you’re saying that because they are not American, and specifically illegal immigrants, mostly considering those from south of the border, that they are not persons who should be helped when in need? Interesting.
And my Church does go to jails/prisons, hospitals, poor neighborhoods, and schools (we actually own hospitals and schools).
What does your Church of eighteen links do?[/quote]
I think you are giving loaded statements.
I think there is a point where helping the needy and giving in to their demands are not the same.
Anyone can ask for help, but no one is obligated to say yes. If accommodating people burdens me, then it is within my right to say no to helping them. Not to mention that there is a legal avenue to come here. The same country’s that complain about policies of deportation actually deport more than we do. They also have even less tolerant policies than we do (someone look up Mexico’s immigration laws, and it makes you wonder why they even open their mouth on the subject).
