Cantor: Amnesty For DREAMers Is 'Biblical'

Majority Leader Eric Cantor offered a new explanation for why he supports granting amnesty to individuals brought into the country illegally as minors, often called “DREAMers” in reference to the “DREAM Act.”

It's “Biblical,” he said in a local radio interview.

“I’ve always said that there’s a Biblical root and a tradition in this country that says we don’t hold children liable for their parents’ acts and when you have kids who may have been brought here let’s say at 2 months old unbeknownst to them and they’ve been here all their lives and they want to serve in our military, my position has been I agree with that principle,” he said. “They should be allowed to serve in our military and be allowed to become part of this country as a citizen, but not their parents. Not the ones who committed the illegal act. So this is the difficulty,” Cantor said this week on The John Fredericks Show.

Cantor went on say that Obama’s intransigence is the reason there has not yet been immigration reform.

“The president has said he doesn’t want to pursue this type of a first step approach he doesn't want to pursue a path that would say let’s do the things we can agree on and insist instead on a blanket amnesty bill,” the Virginia Republican said. “And I’m opposed to that and as long as the president says my way or the highway all or nothing, we can’t get anything done.”

Cantor also spoke about his opposition to the Senate “Gang of Eight” bill.

“I’ve always opposed Harry Reid and Barack Obama’s amnesty bill coming out of the Senate,” he said.

Eric Cantor, your biblical knowledge is laughable.

Romans 13:1-7
Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.

Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.

For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same;

for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.

Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.

For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing.

Render to all what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.

Interviewer failed to ask Cantor how he planned on punishing the father for the sins of the father.

“Render unto Caesar” says to me that Christ recognized the legitimacy of worldly government.IOW...get bleeped,Mr Cantor! No sale!!!

[SkyDancer]

No! It’s Cesar’s law - you render unto Cesar. Caesar’s law states you can’t be in the USA without permission. Period!

[G Larry]

Wrong, Eric!

LEGAL Immigrants ARE receiving our compassion and charity and opportunity.

We simply insist that immigrants DO SO LEGALLY!!!

Its RACIST to impose SLAVE wages on LEGAL immigrants and other minorities, by flooding the market with cheap labor.

[SkyDancer]

PS - it’s all about pandering to the Mexican illegals.

Cantor “I’ve always said that there’s a Biblical root and a tradition in this country that says we don’t hold children liable for their parents’ acts and when you have kids who may have been brought here let’s say at 2 months old unbeknownst to them and they’ve been here all their lives and they want to serve in our military, my position has been I agree with that principle,” he said.”

This is a very powerful political argument that I bet that if it was phrased that way in polls: 90% agree /10% disagree.

Issues like this will have little effect on this years election but when the next GOP candidate goes up against Hillary (or whoever) in 2016 and she calls for amnesty, its going to get real ugly.

[freedomfiter2]

He Eric stoning sodomites is also Biblical. Let us know when you get that taken care of.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Anchor babies are not biblical, they are an epidemic.

In LA they are remodeling hotels to cater to Chinese girls 8 months pregnant who drop thousands of “citizens” a year.

Canter is part of the problem, not the solution.

[melsec]

Numbers 14:18 The LORD is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.’

I don’t think this guy reads all of his Bible!

Run them out of the country at the barrel of a gun.
