Jerry Brown urges ‘religious call ... to welcome the stranger’ in border crisis
Sacramento Bee ^ | July 29, 2014 | David Siders

MEXICO CITY – Gov. Jerry Brown suggested Monday that Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s ordering of National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border to address the surge in border crossings is misguided, urging politicians instead to heed the “religious call … to welcome the stranger” in addressing the crisis.

[snip]

Brown did not say what specific actions could be taken on the border, but he suggested the response in Texas by Perry, a Republican, is misguided.

[snip]

Brown’s remarks come a day after he announced a private meeting Tuesday with José Horacio Gómez, the Mexico-born archbishop of Los Angeles, and “more than a dozen other religious and diplomatic leaders from Central America … to discuss immigration.”

[snip]

Brown said the issue could “not entirely” be de-politicized.

What does religion say about your neighbors stealing their way into your house? That's what the real issue is.

The Bible is not big on telling people to break the law.

Should anyone be taking religious advice from a Communist like Jerry Brown????

Governor Moonbeam's not satisfied with only a third of the state's prisoners being wet...ooops,sorry:undocumented workers or with the fact that California has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country.

Hey, the bible DOES mention this:
Mark 3:27 27 No one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house.

Yes. Jesus also said not to cast pearls before swine. The men of renown in the bible told us to use discernment in making decsions too. Is Mr. brown just another knee-jerk reactionist politician who doesn’t understand manipulation and deception tactics like using children as an to exploit to bring a full invasion into the U.S. to overwhelm a nation’s social and economic power to bend it to the rule if tyrants? Mr Brown I suggest you go study your history a little while, in particular invading hordes in Rome and sexual promiscuity and the advancement of homosexuality and morality in their culture and the outcome then get back to me.

He then went to file a deposition in a lawsuit to remove a cross from public land.

Brown’s statement brings Proverbs 26:7 to mind.

I think the Bible also warns against those who come to you citing religion as a motive ... something about wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Jerry Brown — and the rest of the suddenly “religious” Left — didn’t know how to spell “G-O-D” a month ago. Now they’re trying to push the Jesus button to gin up sympathy for the invaders.

I think this is a great Idea, and Moonbeam should issue an Executive Order that ALL Public Servants immediately take at least 2 Illegal Alien Children to live with them and ALL Public Employees take 1. Welcome them right into your family and assume the position of Parents.

We welcome guest not new residence in our own home.

Right now theses children are guest awaiting the time when they go home. During that wait are we not providing them food and shelter?

Perry is trying to save lives both by deterring the dangerous trek against the Texas desert and finding those who do make it into Texas before they die of exposure.
